Look out over Pendragon

"Oxford defines syncretism as the amalgamation or attempted amalgamation of different religions, cultures, or schools of thought. Cesar Santos portrays this perfectly in his strange and captivating marriage of old and new. This piece is a study of painting mastery throughout the centuries, meeting and juxtaposing with modern themes. Note how the meticulous detail in the human form gives the illusion that this was painted in the renaissance, however, upon closer inspection, the picnic scene shows McDonald’s paper cups, takeout bags, and modern attire. The background is a direct reference to Manet’s Luncheon on the Grass, with the same mysterious femme in a body of water amongst the trees. This time, however, the male is unclothed — a modern re-imagination of a scandalous classic." - source
