About this artwork
In this picture the artist processes his sketches that he made in Rome. The motifs are set in scene with free and sweeping brush movements. The five domes emerge from the water like visions. Rocks in the foreground shift the event to the coast of a sea. This creates an unreal backdrop. The red skies leave it to the viewer to form their own interpretations. The center of the picture - albeit not in the narrower sense of the composition - is the blue…
angel on the right edge of the picture. It is a paraphrase of a baroque angel sculpture by Bernini. The character is advertised as a theme in a different format. This doubling of the angel motif is a compositional counterbalance to the five domes. The Latin title of the picture "Translatio" means metaphor. The image is a complex metaphor for memory, history and time. An association with transience and rebirth is offered by the Renaissance quotes.

« Each face conveys messages about the person I work into the picture. »
Captivated by art ever since he was a child standing amazed in front of his grandfather's photographic portraits, Norbert Mauritius has now enjoyed over two decades of life as a professional painter. With faces as his central theme, he composes figurative portraits marked by interesting combinations of form and colour.
