Inspired by Gianlorenzo Bernini’s statue, street artist Banksy painted a portrait of Saint Theresea on a wall in Naples; a personal reinterpretation of her ecstasy which in Banksy ‘s work was caused by indigestion from fast food.
A small masterpiece in its own right which some new and far less talented artist a few days ago decided to cover up with a new but rather mediocre mural.
Let’s hope for his sake that he was not aware he was committing a crime against art! Coperta un’opera di Banksy a Napoli
