I took heavy inspiration from chiaroscuro of Rembrandt, compositional consideration of Raphael, and combined those with the storytelling and style of Gustav Klimt to produce a piece reflecting an amalgamation of elements throughout art history. Just as art style had evolved, I took note of the way the storytelling and subject matter of those we consider "masterpieces" have evolved over time as well and decided to make something anachronistic in presentation that kind of jumps out as though something's a little bit off upon first look. I've appropriated Klimt's fragmented style to bring together elements of different masterpieces we study over time-- a fragmentation of the evolution we see in the stories told, not just the way the things we view are portrayed.
