About this artwork
Simonetta was a celebrated beauty of the Florentine Renaissance, but she died of tuberculosis at the age of 23. My doubling of her portrait (originally by Botticelli) creates a dreamily unreal impression.
Friedrich Schiller's saying comes to mind: "Even the beautiful must die."

Heribert Heere uses collage, paintings (oil, acrylic, watercolor), digital media, and photography; his artistic development was honed at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich and shaped by art historical studies. With sophisticated stylistic pluralism, he combines old and new, representational and abstract, and the trivial with high culture in his works, allowing collage, painting, and montage to flow seamlessly into one another. His works create a poetic tension and invite viewers to reflect on the constant metamorphosis of our culture and to experience the interplay of meanings on an emotional level.
