David Crismon
Maria Gonzaga of Lorraine, Royal style portrait, contemporary oil on metal

2014

About the Item

"Maria Gonzaga of Lorraine" by David Crismon Oil and acrylic on galvanized, heavy-gauge, coated aluminum 80 × 60 × 3 inches David Crismon's "Maria Gonzaga of Lorraine" masterfully intertwines classical portraiture with contemporary abstraction, creating a compelling dialogue between history and modernity. This large-scale diptych, rendered in oil and acrylic on galvanized metal, measures 80 by 60 inches, making it a striking centerpiece for sophisticated interiors. In this work, Crismon deconstructs the traditional image of Maria Gonzaga, a 17th-century Italian noblewoman, by fragmenting and reassembling her likeness. The resulting composition reflects the influence of digital media, with deliberate distortions and layered imagery that challenge the viewer's perception. The use of galvanized metal as a canvas adds a modern industrial aesthetic, enhancing the contrast between the historical subject and contemporary execution. Crismon's technique involves meticulous layering of oil and acrylic paints, creating depth and texture that invite close inspection. The interplay of rich, warm tones with cooler hues adds a dynamic quality to the piece, while the fragmented portrayal of Maria Gonzaga evokes a sense of timelessness and transformation. This artwork is part of Crismon's "Dislocated Histories" series, where he explores the reinterpretation of historical figures through the lens of modern technology. By blending classical painting methods with contemporary concepts, Crismon offers a unique perspective on how history is perceived and reimagined in the digital age. "Maria Gonzaga of Lorraine" is a unique work that comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Its aristocratic subject matter and modern execution make it an excellent choice for designers and collectors seeking a feature piece that bridges the past and present.
