Covered by the stars and the sky

Facts

Description

Covered by the Sky and the Stars is a reinterpretation of the kiss between Saint Anne and Saint Joachim at the Golden Gates of Jerusalem as depicted by the painter Giotto di Bondone (XIV C.). It is said that this is  art´s first kiss of true love (the Vitgen Mary was immaculately conceived from this kiss).

Here, the artists and participants gave the scene a modern twist calling upon imagery from the summer of love, Klimt, Woodstock and the hippie movement.

The mural tells a love story.  A love covered by the sky and the stars, so that whoever sees the mural will wish they were in love.
