Sint Annarei Grande  May 2009 Imprimatura over egg tempera over silverpoint and Iindia Ink on wood panel 43  x 69cm. SOLD.

This is my second version of the Sint Annarei.  Though well pleased with the first one, I wanted to create a grander, more expansive view.  The fully articulated underpainting and underdrawing became partially wiped off in the highlight and quarter tones, leaving traces of both detail and color.  The shadows, too, need nothing more.

And never is there a time when we shall cease to be."
