Boboli Gardens: Pleasure and Enlightenment

This is a painting based on a large sculpture called Tyndareus Cracked which is situated in the centre of the Boboli Gardens. This fabulous sculpture was done by Igor Mitoraj, a Polish-born sculptor. The colossal face is named after Tyndareus, a figure from Greek mythology, King of the ancient city of Sparta. The sculpture appears to be done from fragments of bronze. This fragmentation aims to show the passing of time, our human fragility, the everlasting characteristic of classical beauty and the moral and aesthetic values it represents. For this series it was very important for me after I created multiple pieces representing the natural beauty of the gardens to make an artwork that encapsulates the gardens cultural role as an open air museum. The name of the artwork is in reference to the pleasure we can get from the natural spaces while Enlightenment refers to the cultural heritage represented by the sculpture.
