"Torso"

"Torso"
8 x 10 in
Oil on Canvas Panel

I copied this torso from a Roberto Ferri painting, It is a snippet from one of his magnificent paintings.  With this painting I experimented with the flemish technique. I was inspired after going to the M.I.A. and seeing the Hapsburg exhibition. It was a beautiful exposition showcasing their collection of paintings, sculptures, and jewels. In the exhibition they had Rubens, Caravaggio, Titian, Velázquez and many more painters I can't remember.


I would recommend anyone that is in the twin cities to go see this exhibition. 

Cheers!

Lovely master copy, Jonathan. Nice colors and core shadowing. Jealous that you have the Hapsburg exhibition available locally. Sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
