This is a contemporary oil painting is from a charcoal drawing of Olimpio Fusco by John Singer Sargent dated 1900-1910. Sargent chose to draw this young Italian boy for his beauty.
I needed a handsome, athletic man for my idea of crushing the corona virus so I picked Olimpio as my model.
Sargent did drawings of the WWWI and contracted the Spanish Flu so I thought this was a good fit.
