Bruno the brave

Illustration of Bruno by German symbolist artist Fidus (1900), mixed media on paper, 60 x 50 cm, The Jack Daulton Collection.

This is a striking Symbolist mixed media artwork showing a frontal portrait of a hooded figure in dark robes against a background of radiating orange and golden light with white stars. The subject has an intense, direct gaze with large, haunting eyes and wears the dark cowl of a Dominican friar. His pale hands are crossed at the chest in a contemplative or protective gesture. 

At the bottom, a greenish-gray banner bears the name "GIORDANO·BRUNO" in red Art Nouveau-style lettering. The notation "II 1900" appears in the lower left, with the artist's signature "Fidus" in the lower right.
