Artwork Description:
The House of Medici is another painting based on the interiors of galleries of Renaissance Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We see people deeply engaged with art, two women conversing on the Madonna picture, and a man watching medieval portraiture, one girl lost in thoughts standing near the sarcophagus. This painting beautifully combines cold photorealism with the realism of historical paintings on the art gallery walls.
