Fatal Allegations by SMITH Richard Shirley
457 x 609mm18 x 24ins
Although at one level it appears to be a representational painting of a Venetian scene it could only occur in a dream. There is an obvious debt to the Venetian painter Longhi, particularly his masked balls and conversation pieces of a decaying Patrician society. But here there is allegory, humour and overtones of surrealism.
