Gift basket, 1874, after Balzico - Limited Edition 2 of 12 Print

Balzico sculpted from life in marble which I photographed in Rome, and when I am there again I expect to discover who this woman was who modeled for his Cleopatra. She wasn't not so much beautiful as brilliant, trained in rhetoric, speaking twelve languages. Her immense wealth was also fetching. Her surroundings are from my photograph of an ancient Egyptian wall in the archaeological museum in Turin. After decades of both screenprinting and photography, I'm making prints from my photographs of statues of women of the past. It's important to know who sculpted them and who they were; there's a library in Rome that has a copy of a monograph about this sculpture, so when I am next there I intend to read it and update this description.
