Delftware tile - Horace

Delftware tile - Horace

One of the many new 'Delft' tiles (actually paintings on panel and not ceramic!) I have created for my Umbra Sumus (We Are But Shadows) solo show at the end of April, in Spitalfields.

This tile depicts a bust of Roman writer Horace. Part of his quote 'Pulvis et Umbra Sumus' (We Are But Dust and Shadows) can be seen on the sundial over the Fournier Street mosque, after which my Exhibition was named.
