This painting, painted around 1594, depicts Gabrielle d'Estrées, mistress of Henri IV, probably with her sister, the Duchess of Villars.
The painting is riddled with riddles. The painter is not known, nor do we know what the situation depicted is trying to tell us. No "woop! woop!" probably.
Art with a wink ;-)
Art on canvas looks great on any wall. It truly comes into its own with paintings featuring sharp brushstrokes.
The stylists at Art Heroes call my art style ‘Art with a Wink’. And I couldn't agree more. Life is serious enough as it is, don't you think? ;-)
I mainly make surrealist artworks and collages, because in those artstyles I can so wonderfully unleash my creativity and unbridled imagination! But I also enjoy gratefully taking advantage of the fact that museums all over the world make their paintings available digitally and then unleash my own creative touch…
