Description
Alphonse de Lamartine, author of the Poetic Meditations, was a key figure of literary Romanticism. He was also a politician, appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1848 during the Second Republic. David, a great admirer of the poet, depicted him as if inspired, with slightly tousled hair swept back from his forehead.

I always wondered how sculpts would look like if painted. This started when I was told that the sculpts in the metope of Parthenon where painted and what remains today is the decoloured marble after many ages. Some times I just try to paint, but in other cases, something provocative comes into my mind and I follow a more creative path. In any case, enjoy!
