This painting is really hard to show in a square as she is in height. So i show you it in two part: half top and the half bottom. It’s calling the Hirsch Hiziger, after an alsacian ( i’m alsacian ) custom of wild men tradition. In February in some towns people hunt the the wild man. Some says if you don’t give him something as offering he will steal a girl of the village. So everyone dance with him prisoner and visit all houses. The whole painting measures 240x120cm. I use egg tempera and gold leaf.
