Jiří Anderle's historical-themed prints combine refined form with his own conception of time, drawing attention to the issue of repeating forms and situations. They force us to reflect on transience, humanity, and the necessity of facing the same challenges over and over again. Simonetta Vespucci was renowned for her beauty and immortalized by painters such as Sandro Botticelli and Domenico Ghirlandaio, but she died at the age of only 23.
