Ross’s Family Portrait 2021

Created in 2021 by contemporary artist Michael Cheval, *Ross’s Family Portrait* depicts a couple dressed in Renaissance attire. The scene is set in a garden with a maze, suggesting themes of love, mystery, and perhaps a search for meaning in a complex world. The figures' idealized features, combined with the fantastical elements, such as a floating figure and a parrot, point to the artist's use of Surrealism. The work is a vibrant example of Cheval's signature style, blending elements of history, romance, and imaginative fantasy.
