About this artwork
This small, vertical painting is inspired by religious depictions of Hell - early Italian frescoes showing a mouth opening to receive damned souls, illustrations of the fall of Lucifer and the well-known work of Bosch, amongst many others.
The falling human figure is flung out of Heaven, the gilded rays seeming to strike him down, through the calm blue of the sky to the seething red heart of the volcano. In the heat of the crater, strange creatures… wait to receive him - some fantastical, some real: a giant, blind maggot, a lizard, beetles, worms, a grinning, purple serpent and a huge, warty toad.
Traditional, medieval techniques have been used - hand-ground egg tempera paint and gold leaf on a lime wood panel, prepared with a chalk ground - to produce unusually pure and luminous colours.
The painting is in a fixed frame, which forms part of the artwork, and is signed on the back, with 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.
