The Fayum (or Fayyûm) portraits were made during the period from the 1st to the 4th century AD. Found in Egyptian tombs particularly at the oasis of al-Fayyûm, they showed the head and shoulders of the dead person, and were painted on wooden tablets using tempera or pigments mixed with liquid beeswax. They were placed on the outer coffin. The images were painted while the deceased was still alive, to ensure they were completely life-like.

Marsha Cottrell’s drawings, 2011-2012, iron oxide on mulberry paper

Brooklyn-based artist Marsha Cottrell creates deft, intricate drawings of stellar landscapes, imaginary worlds floating light years away. ”The first landscape images in art I connected with as a young person were da Vinci’s “deluge” drawings,” she told Review Interview. “I was attracted to the idea that they were not representations of actual places, but eternal/internal landscapes that might be found anywhere at any moment in time. Their energy, architecture, and intricacy—but not rigidity—always appealed to me. They seemed to present an open platform with which to interact, and I’ve always aspired for my own work operate in a similar way.” Click to look through the stars, and then be sure to head over to Cottrell’s website to check out more of her work.
