ABSTRACT
During his Golden Period, he
was influenced by Byzantine
mosaics, Celtic design, and
Egyptian art. Consequently he
frequently used symbols such as
the Eye of Horus to convey a sense
of divinity in his subjects and in
the final stages of his painting he
would use gold leaf over his oils to
create a golden throne for his
floating subjects. Although he
painted many landscapes, it was
women who were the catalyst for
some of his greatest masterpieces.
