Oil on canvas board · 30 × 40 cm
Max Ernst is a poised and enigmatic portrait by Francesco Ferrari, part of his Great Artists series. With bold, visible brushstrokes and a muted cream ground, the artist places the white-haired Surrealist beside a dark, horned sculptural figure—an echo of Ernst’s own totemic creatures and Capricorn-like inventions.
The quiet dialogue between maker and myth unfolds in earthy browns, whites, and soft flesh tones. Ferrari transforms Surrealist legend into painted emotion, celebrating the restless imagination that reshaped the twentieth-century image of dream and form.
