About this artwork
This egg tempera painting shows a frieze of small animals, painted with tenderness and humour, nestling in the long grass. The elongated format of the painting is inspired by classical Greek and Roman friezes and by Renaissance Italian cassoni (marriage chests).
Lara Broecke has used techniques and materials typical of the medieval and early Renaissance periods, including an oak panel prepared with gesso, gold leaf (for the moths) and paint made… from, for the most part, historical pigments hand ground in egg yolk. The brooding colour scheme is inspired by early Renaissance paintings such as Pisanello's 'The Vision of St. Eustace' and Uccello's 'The Hunt in the Forest'.
A border of exposed oak panel runs around the edge of the painting, so that can be displayed unframed; two hooks have been attached at the back to make it 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.
