Product Description
A garden in Madrid. Neoclassical Pop Art plants the duchess in a Pop garden, a new work built on a Spanish court portrait. Green leads, pink answers, and her pointing hand still steers the eye across the canvas.
In green with pink, “The Black Duchess, Goya Pose” is Neoclassical Pop Art's garden reading of the Spanish painter Francisco Goya's “The Black Duchess”, created c. 1797 and now at the Hispanic Society of America, New York; the duchess's hand still steers the eye.
The Romanticism style painting portrays María Cayetana de Silva, 13th Duchess of Alba, painted during the eight months Goya was a guest in her estate in Spain from 1796 to 1797.
In the original painting, the 35 Years Old Duchess is wearing a black dress of a Maja, mourning the death of her husband a year earlier.
Although Goya was fifty, deaf, married, and still not fully recovered from an illness, some speculate they may have had a romance because her right index finger points the ground where the words solo Goya (only Goya) written on the sand, and her rings inscribed Alba and Goya The painting had great personal importance to Goya, who kept it in his studio long after her death.
The Neoclassical Version comes in colorful and playful colors of hope and love.
