Bill Armstrong seems to have taken Leonardo’s insight to heart and, continuing his personal artistic exploration of visual reinterpretations of great works of artistic heritage, presents us with a new photographic reworking of a masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Sistine Gestures, Armstrong had already applied the same photographic technique—based on the artistic use of blurring—to create a series dedicated to Michelangelo Buonarroti’s Last Judgement, a work that has become a permanent installation at the foot of the staircase leading to the Sistine Chapel within the Vatican Museums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis new photographic project, building on the previous one, focuses on the Sibyls of the floor of Siena Cathedral, which Armstrong’s lens captures in their essence—as figures suspended between myth and prophecy, enigma and revelation—transporting them across the landscapes of time and culture to bring them to us today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArmstrong’s work, a true contemporary trompe-l’œil, is a visionary reinterpretation of art history and an effective example of contemporary abstraction that aims to reactivate images from the past not as objects to be contemplated, but as open fields of interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sillabe Casa Editrice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58141136191752,"sku":"978-88-3340-607-7","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/7638\/2216\/files\/727_BILLARMSTRONGSIBYLS.jpg?v=1783071874","url":"https:\/\/sillabe.it\/en-eu\/products\/bill-armstrong-sibyls","provider":"Sillabe Casa Editrice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
