Jiří Anderle (1936) BOY WITH A BASKET OF FRUIT

Artistic paraphrase of the famous painting The Boy with the Basket of Fruit attributed to Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. The fullness, richness and extraordinary sense of detail probably attracted the attention of Jíří Anderle, who decided to immortalize this motif in impressive and extremely detailed graphics and thus pay tribute to the famous artist. Jiří Anderle is currently one of the most important Czech graphic artists, and the role of man, whether mythological, artistic, historical or social, has repeatedly come to the center of his work.
