About the Item

Divine Intervention? Magical, almost angelic light envelops an ambulance event in Central Park. The body language of the surrounding crowd and the open ambulance door indicate a serious health issue is being addressed. Photographer Mitchell Funk's lens seems to capture the moment more deeply. The golden glow of the vast lawn in the foreground denotes “green pastures” or the word of God. Caravaggioesque rim lighting of the figures brings an angelic energy to the scene. The viewer can only think of an act of the Devine is involved in a human situation. Darkness is overwhelmed by light to shape a positive outcome. Signed dated and numbered 2/15 lower right recto, other sizes available, unframed, printed later. This work is printed on fine art Hahnemuhle paper. The color will vary from monitor to monitor.
