About this artwork
This miniature egg tempera painting shows a male figure, modelled in low relief, crouched over under the weight of all his regrets. A huge ball of teeming thoughts, rendered in close punchwork on a gold ground, hangs over him, pressing him down. The deep red-brown colour of the man and the ground on which he stands recalls the inside of a body, as if we can see, painfully right into him.
The gold is applied by the traditional technique of water… gilding on bole followed by burnishing, to produce a perfectly smooth, polished surface. The paint is made by grinding dry pigments in egg yolk and water, the technique used throughout Europe in the medieval period. The support for the painting is an oak panel, prepared with a white chalk ground.
The painting is signed and dated on the reverse and has a d-ring attached so that it is ready to hang.
« I seek to rekindle in contemporary viewers a sense of wonder, awe and tenderness in relation to the world around them. »
Lara Broecke's passion for early Italian art was born while living in Florence. She currently lives in France and paints using early Italian techniques - gold leaf and egg tempera paint, made by hand-grinding pigments in egg yolk, on wooden panels coated with gesso. She marries a medieval sensibility with contemporary compositions, creates rich representations of the natural world and man's relationship to it.
