## about: Saint Luke Drawing the Virgin (2005)

ArtBase Selection |

Tweet

Within the context of digital visual media my work critically reflects the status of the traditional media of painting. I focus in particular on the relation between digital representations and the classical panel.

1. A painting was reproduced and compressed to a file in the data base.

2. The datareduced illustration of the painting is taken from the data base and scaled up to its original size.

3. Parts of the reproduction of the painting can be regarded and printed out.

Basing on: Rogier van der Weyden Saint Luke Drawing the Virgin about 1435 - 1440 Oil and tempera on panel, 140 x 110 cm Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
