the work was done in just 2 working days. I started painting it on the morning of easter april 12th, the day after easter monday of the 13th, i realized that the face in the silhouette, unbeknownst to me, represented the face of christ, exactly the same as the image of the shroud, without having created and modified the image, considering that the entire work was created with a single 5 cm wide brush, the face of christ is 15 cm high, 8 cm wide, i would not have been able to create it even if i wanted to , impossible to compose it in detail in such a limited space. Swollen eye, aquiline nose, swollen lips, beard, a sleeping man, an image perfectly identical to the face of christ on the shroud, and this is why i titled it pasquas 13 + 20. S, represents the holy shroud, adding the day and the year forms 33 years, the same age as christ, which is why i am extremely fond of it to consider it unsellable.
