After Byzantine Enthroned Madonna and Child (c. 1250/1275) Size:14" x 17" Unframed Original I didn't really learn thatAs part of my practice, I do studies of old master paintings. This is a study of a painting from the mid thirteenth century, a painting of the Madonna and Child. I'm hoping it influences my current project. This piece is part of my upcoming exhibition The Faces of CHiPs What if God lived in Gowanus? a series of studies and portraits of the people of CHiPs, a soup kitchen residence that has served my neighborhood for 50 years.
