Vatican Illumination, oil on canvas, 30 x 40"

When Lee was in New York City's Music and Art studying Art History he fell in love with the art of the Renaissance.  The word itself means rebirth, and this would later inspire the phoenix iconography in his artwork.

Lee's favorite artists from this period of time remain Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael.  Many of the works found in this series were transcribed from Vatican ceiling photographs taken by the artist on a past trip to Rome.
