The Historian
Image Description
A grey-haired male-presenting figure is seated sideways on to us, reading an old book. They are draped in bright red fabric, reminiscent of renaissance paintings of St Jerome. Behind them are a pile of books, on top of which is a sheep skull.
Artist’s Notes
The photograph draws on Renaissance/Baroque iconography and symbolism of Saint Jerome, imagining an historian of one of the multitude of potential futures explored in Acid Renaissance: Albion’s True Standard Advanced.
