About The Artwork
This is a painting I did towards the end of last year exploring themes around institutionalised faith and their relation to hierarchy. Does a subject like faith climb a ladder and hold power or is faith power within people? The painting is a reference to the paint by Guido Reni (1639) Sant Andrea Corsini. On 13 October 1349, Pope Clement VI appointed him Bishop of Fiesole Upon learning of this appointment, the reluctant Corsini went into hiding. An inscription on his tomb states that "he was snatched from the Carmel to the church and the miter of Fiesole". This perhaps gave rise to the legend that he fled, and that a child discovered him at the charterhouse at Enna, and he later accepted the nomination as bishop as the result of a vision.
