Sax Berlin
What Light in Yonder Window Breaks: Contemporary figurative oil painting

2002

About the Item

Shakespeare's fair Juliet in Romeo's soliloquy is here interpreted as a medieval maiden. Berlin has not only cast his Juliet as a medieval beauty but has also used authentic techniques of the period in his portrayal. His original pigments are hand ground & as can be seen from Juliet's deep Venetian Red dress, they are unique, Berlin's colour palette is authentic to the period, cracked tempera gives depth and the whole is finished with beeswax to scintillating effect. This lovely study could have been painted at the time of the great houses of Renaissance Italy. Signed front and verso

Sax Berlin was himself on the streets of New York city and experienced first hand this vibrant culture. Graffiti has connected with movements in music, and dance.
