Still Life With Velazquez, or On Earth As It Is In Heaven
This painting is part of a series I created which include a hand painted copy of a masterpiece of art history somewhere in the still life. In this piece, I include Diego Velazquez' "Coronation of The Virgin" (1641-1644).
A statuette of Our Lady of The Immaculate Heart partially obscures a clock. Her right hand holds her heart out as her left-hand gestures toward a rosary. The rosary climbs its way over a Bible, where it meets a goblet spilling grapes, an item signifying Culture and Grace. We follow the goblet upwards to the curled color xerox reproduction of Velasquez’ “Coronation of The Virgin,” signifying heaven.
Oil on linen
Framed, with flower garland
