Bernardo Bellotto – Pentaptych III Print

“Bernardo Bellotto” was made near the end of an over 20 year process of studying and responding to paintings which started in 1991 with a study of the centre piece of Uccello’s Battle of San Romano. “Bernardo Bellotto” is the third of a set of paintings of equal size, called “Pentaptych”. While the first such studies were made on roughly postcard size wooden blocks, later joined up to larger paintings, the panels of “Pentaptych” are of much larger dimension, permitting physical or gestural painting on a scale similar to the full human body. The full set includes: • Delacroix II (Study - 2012) • Rublev • Bernardo Bellotto • Carpaccio/Volpedo • Spring in Carlingford Lough “Bernardo Bellotto” was made by first painting in oil on paper pasted on 4mm plywood, then pouring wall paint over it while lying flat and mixing it with highly diluted oil paint. Peeling off sections of wall paint at the middle revealed traces of the original painting. The overall painting was then varnished with yacht varnish. Steel profiles are used the back to straighten out the pliable plate, with screws being drilled visibly through the front of the painting. The dried layer of wall paint is somewhat brittle, but stable. Wooden bars at the back lift the plate off the wall. It is not meant to be framed. @paintbritain painting of the day on 23rd December 2017 https://twitter.com/paintbritain/status/944522981719470080
