A Doctor of a Different Kind
In Portrait of a Doctor, Marco Santos reworks Fede Galizia’s Portrait of a Physician through the unmistakable presence of Dr. Cox from Scrubs. The formal language of the classical portrait meets Cox’s sharp, human energy, turning the figure of the physician into something more contemporary and personal.
Part of Crossover: When Pop Culture Meets the Old Masters, the painting reflects on pop culture as a form of modern mythology. By placing a recognisable television character within a classical portrait tradition, the series shows how today’s icons can fulfil roles once reserved for saints, heroes and other symbolic figures.
