About the Item
This enchanting photograph captures the essence of an 18th-century-style portrait featuring a regal dog. Poised at attention, the canine exudes an air of majesty, adorned with a splendid blue collar that accentuates its noble bearing. This depiction seamlessly merges the grace of classical portraiture with the timeless charm of a loyal and dignified companion.
Fidel Santos is a contemporary artist whose work is profoundly influenced by the rich tapestry of Old Master, Baroque, and Renaissance art. Drawing inspiration from these classical periods, Santos skillfully weaves a visual narrative that transcends time. His artistic repertoire is characterized by a meticulous exploration of iconography and symbolism, echoing the traditions of the past while infusing them with a modern sensibility. Through his art, Santos invites viewers on a journey into the realms of allegory and metaphor, where each stroke is a thoughtful homage to the mastery of bygone eras. In seamlessly blending classical techniques with contemporary perspectives, Fidel Santos creates evocative artworks that resonate with both historical depth and contemporary relevance.

La cabeza de Isabel
Located in Brooklyn, NY
This photograph captures the solemn visage of the biblical figure Elizabeth, known as "Isabel" in Spanish. Once part of a revered church statue, now only her head remains, gazing downward with a sense of contemplation. Elizabeth, a key figure in the Bible, was the mother of John the Baptist and played a crucial role in biblical narratives, particularly in the Visitation when she greeted Mary, the mother of Jesus. The photograph preserves the essence of her biblical importance, depicting the enduring reverence and the spiritual depth associated with this revered figure. The downward gaze suggests a posture of reflection and humility, inviting viewers to contemplate the biblical legacy embodied by the remaining fragment of this once-complete church statue.
