Dove of Peace Painting

In St Peter's, Rome, a collection of tourists is gathered around the great Altar. Light floods in from the afternoon sun, illumining the central motif of the dove, the bird of peace. To the right a figure holds up a mobile phone camera, symbol of the modern world. Behind him sits the original altarpiece of Byzantine design. For the interior of St Peter's I have used a purple mixed from Alizarin crimson and ultramarine blue, darkened where appropriate with burnt umber. Subtle hues of Cadmium yellow have been applied to the bird and altar-piece.whilst the woman in the foreground is painted in a strong, but somewhat subdued Cadmium red. The effect of the carefully considered colour harmonies is to create a sense of hushed interior, quietened by gentle purple with almost the effect as of incense burning
