The Dark Knight, as only Enrico Marini can paint him.
THE ARTWORK
Batman stands tall in the foreground, seen from a low angle, his cape sweeping around him like a dark wave and one fist clenched at his side. Marini paints him with a human, weathered face: a stubbled jaw, a tense mouth and a hard stare under the mask.
Behind him, Gotham City rises in soft washes of grey: art deco skyscrapers, rooftop water towers and the misty silhouettes of towers. Marini builds the whole scene with layers of transparent watercolour in black and grey, from the deepest blacks of the cape to the delicate, almost foggy tones of the city. The visible pencil lines and fluid brushwork show the speed and confidence of a master at work.
WHY IT MATTERS
Enrico Marini is one of the leading names in European comics, and his two-volume "Batman: The Dark Prince Charming" (DC Comics / Dargaud) gave him a unique place among the artists who have drawn the character. This original watercolour captures his personal vision of Batman, cinematic, elegant and moody, in a single hand-painted piece, signed and dated by the artist.
