Something to keep in mind is some of these were
large canvas’s. Quite an amazing artist.
Several of his paintings were lost in the last year
of his life. They were aboard ship on his last voyage
but disappeared at his death.
There is a movie and book “M” about his life,
turbulent times.
I knew he worked almost life size. Didn’t know about the lost paintings. Tragic. Another thing I learned was that he only put his signature on one painting - in the blood dripping from a severed head. YUCK!!!!!!!
I think one of his paintings was thought to be lost but was actually hanging for decades in a Jesuit refectory in Dublin.
