Inside the Tower of Babel
Inside the Tower of Babel
Acrylic on Canvas
14" X 16"

I did 'Inside the Tower of Babel' after admiring Breughel's version in a magazine. There are many examples of the exterior by different artists, but I didn't know of any of the interior. So I decided to create one. Then I was very fortunate, and honored, to have it selected to illustrate a bio of Jorge L. Borges, who wrote a wonderful essay on the tower. It was published in 'Great World Writers', Marshall Cavendish 2004. The letters around the frame are letters from ancient languages, some no longer extant.
