About this artwork
I set out to create a pastoral scene evocative of the Renaissance, with sunset-lit mountains in the distance and two Caravaggio-inspired moments—The Ecstasy of Saint Francis and Saint Francis in Meditation—unfolding in the foreground. The flowers scattered throughout the scene serve as symbols of life’s transience, juxtaposed with the stark presence of a skull.
As in my paintings of knights, there is a central figure—a protagonist, a hero. Here,… it is Saint Francis, cast as a saviour-like presence who holds a quiet flicker of hope amidst a world teetering on the edge of darkness.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Simon Boyd is a British painter based in La Pampa, Argentina. His paintings explore landscape as a space of memory, transformation and imagination. Drawing on the vast horizons of the Pampas, the subtropical forests of Misiones and the waterfalls of Iguazú, Boyd creates works that move between representation and abstraction. Through vivid colour, recurring symbols and expressive brushwork, he transforms observed landscapes into personal and imaginative worlds that reflect experiences of travel, migration and life between two continents.
