“York Festival Triptych is another of Richard Eurich’s major works from the 1950s. The central ‘panel’ of the triptych shows a medieval mystery play in progress across a bridge, with Noah in his ark together with his family, and alongside there is the rainbow confirming God’s renewed covenant with mankind. The Minster towers above all the other tall buildings of York, the people crowd the streets, chimneys pour out smoke, and in a cameo scene in the far distance a cricket match takes place. A cool grey northern sky tempers the exuberance and colour of the city below, while the aerial perspective suggests that the artist has used his imagination to bring together all the various elements that comprise the painting.

Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824– 1904, French)

Cling-film covered mount, photo by Rachael Lee. Mount makers can use a mannequin designed in the correct shape to create replica mannequins. This model has been covered in cling wrap in order to make a “paper-mache” type cast by layering on paste soaked strips of linen material. Once dry, the cast is removed and can be used as is, or act as a form to shape a clear acrylic cast.
