About this painting
One of three paintings developed for an exhibition at Stockport War Memorial Art Gallery exploring ekphrasis; paintings inspired by poems and poems inspired by paintings. The exhibition explored the transformation and evolution of artistic ideas across different media and different artists and poets.

This painting is a response to 'To a Fly in Amber' by John F Keane. All three works play upon the visual theme of 'The Death of Chatterton' by Henry Wallis.
