March of the Ignis Fatuus

by Olivia Di Gregorio

From the artist’s private collection, ‘March of the Ignis Fatuus’ is one part from a nine painting series titled, ‘The Lesser Goldfinch’: observing surreality in the late medieval period; following young characters who felt a call to arms, finding purpose through worship, and redeeming themselves amongst absolute ruination. This narrative explores Norse and Celtic mythology, English Magic, and recorded history in medieval lapidaries by interpreting Ethan Hawke’s ‘Rules for a Knight’.
