Product Description

Orange against green, with a crisper print edge. Neoclassical Pop Art's orange and green Pop take survives the move to print, still new art from a Spanish source. Ideal for a second home or a rental wall where weight matters but the poet still belongs.

Neoclassical Pop Art's “La Araucana: The Poet” in orange and green carries “Portrait of the Poet Alonso de Ercilla y Zúñiga” by El Greco (the 1570s, the Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg) to a crisp print edge, a lighter edition for a second home.

The Artwork features Alonso de Ercilla y Zúñiga, a Spanish Epic Poet and nobleman serving King Philip II of Spain who appointed him as a soldier in the conquest of the Araucanians of Chile. A war that shaped the economics, politics, and social life of Chile for centuries.

Ercilla was famed as the author of "La Araucana: The Poet" (1569–89), which is considered the most celebrated Renaissance epic poem, and one of the most important works of the Spanish Golden Age (Siglo de Oro). The poem composed on the battlefield describes his personal experiences.

Pablo Picasso was greatly influenced by El Greco throughout his career. El Greco's portrait of the poet hints at the tight connection between Painting and Poetry. A concept sourcing from the doctrine "ut pictura poesis", a Latin phrase meaning "as is painting so is poetry," a philosophical idea that originated from an earlier theory that Poetry is a speaking picture and painting silent poetry. During the Renaissance, scholars determined that painting was superior concluding sight preceded hearing. Pop Art forced art experts to abandon the academic "grading" science for the sake of science fiction, which affected the contemporary expression of both writing and painting.

Comes in a classical pop art composition of four, this Neoclassical Pop Art artwork aims to bridge this ongoing argument, is perfect for lovers of both visual arts and poetry.

A contemporary print, created by the Neoclassical Pop Art studio.

Portable lineage.

A collectible statement piece where the Old Masters meet pop culture, made for true art lovers.
