“There is no exquisite beauty," says Bacon, Lord Verulam, speaking truly of all the forms and genera of beauty, "without some strangeness in the proportion.”    ―      Edgar Allan Poe,            Ligeia

"Berenice"

Oil on panel

"Berenice! -- I call upon her name -- Berenice! -- And from the grey ruins of memory a thousand tumultous recollections are startled at the sound! Ah! vividly is her image before me now, as in the early days of her light-heartedness and joy! Oh! gorgeous yet fantastic beauty! Oh! sylph amid the shrubberies of Arnheim! -- Oh! Naiad among its fountains! -- and then -- then all is mystery and terrors, and a tale which should not be told."

"The teeth! —the teeth!

they were here, and there, and everywhere,

and visibly and palpably before me,

long, narrow, and excessively white..."

Edgar Allan Poe

"Death and the Maiden", oil on illustration board.

The painting is inspired by the common renaissance art motif of death and the maiden, it depicts a young woman seized by the personification of death expressed by a skeleton hand that I chose to show only partially. #deathandthemaiden #kremenachipilova #kremena #renaissanceart
