A one-month trip to Naples inspired me to paint the 3-panel
(triptych) screen of one of my favorite neighborhoods in the city, as
setting for the story of Jason and the Argonauts ... the voyage of the
Golden Fleece. The street scene shows the 18th-century palazzo degli
spagnoli by architect Ferdinando San Felice.
