An original acrylic on canvas hand-signed framed artwork by Simon Lee Robson.

This study of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio’s Bacchus (1598) explores Robson's use of chiaroscuro and psychological realism. He revisits the sensual tension and theatrical presence of the original portrait, examining the interplay of light, flesh, and shadow that defines Caravaggio’s Baroque vision. More than a faithful replication, this piece forms part of an ongoing dialogue with the masters, bridging historical technique with contemporary interpretation through careful attention to composition, atmosphere, and form

Presented in a dark-stained wood frame.
