Japanese Madonna in Tuscan Landscape David Lewis Baker
A digital triptych created from a scanned watercolour.
It depicts a Japanese woman in traditional dress against a Tuscan landscape, mixing renaissance imagery with those of Japanese art, but in a distinctively modernist manner with its mirrored and flipped images. I have long believed that triptych and diptych images, if properly handled, add something new to the enjoyment and appreciation of a single image.
The idea of this as an alterpiece triptych refers to the renaissance inspiration of the work and also because I imagaine it as this, or as a tripartite stained glass window behind the alter in a church.
