2022. 10" x 14", Water-Based Oil Paint. Based of Giambologna's 1579-83 Rape of a Sebine Woman marble sculpture. The copy of this piece can be found in the Piazza Signoria in Florence, where I had first admired it. Later, I was able to see the real statue in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence. I focused on the patterns I found while in Italy, I also seemed to always be stopping to look at every statue I came across. I created this painting to have these two ideas of my own focus come together.
