Original artwork description:
Marie Antoinette’s great Swedish lover, the Count Fersen, returns to modern day Paris, in the Marais district, rue Vieille du Temple, and standing upright, he opens a large book inscribed with a burning heart, declaring his love for her (the title also contains am infamous aria from Camille Saint Saën’s opera “Samson and Delilah”); she is nowhere to be found except as a ghostly black and white image on the façade of La Belle Hortense. He looks a bit forlorn and his dog, symbol of his questionable loyalty and fidelity in reality, is perhaps all he has left.
This painting was started in 2019 but reworked through 2021.
Materials used:
