This series of extra large double portraits, by the artist Gordon Carter, focus on ten extraoridnary personages from world history. Each person represented impacted the history or destiny of their country in some deep manner. The double portraits tell the story by layering together multiple images of the figures in just such a way as to suggest deeper meanings to the portrait. These ten paintings are absolutely remarkable and no doubt will not only add beauty to your walls but provoke you to think about their meaning.
