testudinidae brunelleschi
acrylic, pen & pencil on canvas
The tortoise carries an extraordinary structure on its back, a structure difficult to equal in the human world. I have honoured this one with the dome of the Santa Maria del Fiore (the Florence cathedral), designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, who during the renaissance gifted the world his technique of perspective drawing, which we still use today.
