To explore the feet and hands as depicted in the rejected
Caravaggio images I started to create some photographic images.
The contact sheets for these are here:
The final images that I have chosen for
the study which I felt expressed the realism and naturalness that I was after
are these:
This study shows the detail of the flesh
and the details of the lily, the lines on both work well in the image.
The high key set up has meant that the light is even and there is minimal
shadow against the black background which is similar to the first Caravaggio
with Saint Matthew and the here the figures stood out and the viewer was
entirely concentrated on the faces, feet and hands which gave the intensity of
the feeling the images.
These images, I believe, are really quite exquisite and I do think that there is something here that could be explored further. ...
