The Cat in The Black Mirror
The Cat in the Black Mirror, is executed in encaustic, a technique used in ancient Egypt, fallen into oblivion in the Middle Ages to be rediscovered and reinterpreted in modern times by Delacroix in his Saint Sulpice cycle.
The viewer sees his image reflected onto an enormous black cat staring at him from an obsidian mirror. The title gives us an important clue by evoking the sinister universe created by Edgar Allan Poe.
