Vesalian Exultation
Vesalian Exultation
Vesalius, a 16th century Belgian physician, was the first to dissect and draw human bodies for medical reference, long before the Church sanctioned such blasphemous exploits.
His heavier lines delineating of the musculature reminded me of the metal used to separate and secure stained glass.
I thought: “that metal is to body like glass is to soul”,
so here is a joyous figure, radiating out into light.
Available as a:
- 12 x 20” lithograph
- 10 x 20” archival canvas, limited edition
Limited edition archival canvases are indistinguishable for the real thing, and are gallery wrapped canvas, ready to hang - no framing required. I also paint on top of them so each is a little different. Only 200 are made, and each is signed and numbered.
