| Description |
The diptych is composed of a black & white photograph on the left, and reproductions of 16th to 18th century paintings, on
the right, that are cut into two medallions. The photograph, taken from behind a man and small boy, shows them looking out
through a window at penguins. The right element of two medallions has, at the left, a detail taken from Martyrdom of St Felipe
(1639) by Jos. de Ribera, that shows a glimpse of the crucifix and the saint's face. The second medallion, on the right, is
a detail from Landscape with the Funeral of Phocion (1648) that shows a cloud formation and the upper branches of a tree.
