This was a commissioned piece from a client who is writing a book involving Shakespeare and the Catholic Church, which naturally played to my strengths and interests in religious imagery. The concept was to depict Shakespeare as a Catholic saint in the classical style, surrounded by various objects of symbolic meaning. The client had a very clear idea of exactly which elements he wanted to include, but with enough faith (heh) in my experience to let me do my job; always a good combination in a customer!
