DescriptionThe artist wrote, "For me this picture has the feeling of the Italian late Middle Ages, the period of Giotto, Boccaccio, Dante, Petrarch. The head in the foreground looks like Dante and in the back you get the excitement of the city. This picture has responsibility, everything seems to be in the right place and going toward a destined end." (SOURCE: John Hultberg: Painter of the In-Between, ex. cat., 1985, Fred L. Emerson Gallery, Hamilton College)
