We would like to thank Robert Cozzolino for his assistance with cataloguing this lot.
The present work was executed in preparation for Peter Blume's monumental painting Tasso's Oak (1957-60) in the collection of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A surrealist rooftop composition inspired by the artist's time as Artist in Residence at the American Academy in Rome, the final version includes two nuns descending a staircase in the right background.
