Isabella' 2024, Impermanent artwork using pebbles by Justin Bateman. 'Or maybe it's just that beautiful things are so easily broken by the world.' Cassandra Clare, City of Fallen Angels. Isabella is inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's sketches. Leonardo is renowned for his masterful rendering of anatomy and ability to capture highly nuanced facial expressions. Beyond his technical competence he imbibes the subject with spirit, whether it is the abundant experience of age or diffident appeal of youthful innocence. A fleeting glimpse of performance, rather than process—rituals made visible. 'Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.' Leonardo da Vinci The name Isabella is of Spanish and Italian origin, and was a popular name during the Renaissance. The name is derived from the Hebrew name Elizabeth, meaning 'pledged to God'.
