Space Acrobat - Richard Reeve
Antonio Mancini's painting, Il Saltimbanco is an amazing piece. Depicting the young acrobat holding a peacock feather and looking pensively towards the artist. imagine if the lad was able to perform his feats in zero gravity. Oh, what wonders he would have been able to show us! Alas, it was to be over 80 years after the original painting before the first astronauts were able to do this...

Richard Reeve replied:
Thank you, Meg. I have a bit of a theme going here. One of the issues is that when I am walking around art museums at the moment that allow photography (such as PMA) I consistently look for pieces which I could adapt in this way.
