Painter of the golden age and his model
125 x 190 cm. 2000, Oil on Canvas
 
The challenge was to avoid the problem of ambiguity (which we note in the workshop of Courbet) and to juxtapose a true atmospheric sky (painted by me) with a sky painted in the XVIIth century (repainted by me) and to combine all that in a pompous quote of the Golden Age where the twilight nostalgia of the act of painting takes a metaphorical stance.
