Basset labored endlessly trying to bring forth an accurate rendering of the man of the Shroud. The artist explained "The beauty and the sublimity of the original image always seemed to exceed anything that I was able to render for others to see." It became a passion for the artist to enable others to see clearly a coutenance that he came to appreciate as nothing less than truly profound. Click on image to see detail view.
