Copy
of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's Proserpine
1998 by
Paul Noonan
Oil
pastel and emulsion on Ingres board
I feel I owe
so much to Rossetti. If you've ever stood in front of a Rossetti
painting or pastel you'll know why his work inspires. Proserpine
is my favourite painting of his and he produced eight recorded versions
of her. I'm lucky to have seen three but it's the version in Manchester
that really blew me away.
This shows a
closeup of my copy of Proserpine. It was part of a 'mixed media'
experiment of mine, bringing together the unlikely combination of
oil pastels and household emulsion paint on board.
