Brighter by contrast                                 New Life is Brighter by Contrast

                            The boats that we burned in the autumn,
                            lie blackholed in uncut constellations.

Dante and Beatriceby *JamesSkeltonSmith

Traditional Art / Paintings / Fantasy

Dante searches for Beatrice.
Why is she his reflection?
Ask Carl Jung C:

This is a painting I sold to some well off people in Chelsea in the 90's and hadn't seen since. Today, however, I found a slide of it in my drawer and with the help of a good friend in the computing department managed to do a half decent scan of it.

This was the first painting I ever did that felt really important to me.
4'x4' oil on canvas

a fantastic painting with open-ended questions and mysteries - aka c.g.jung

i like also the comic style of the figures, which is quite rarely in the dante theme

i finished reading Divine comedy few months ago. It´s VERY hard to read (at least for me) but it´s still awesome. especially hell is my favourite part (dunno why XD )
