I liked the uneasiness of the work &#8211; they all have a certain haunting quality which makes you wonder about what happened or what might happen. Also, particularly in the earlier paintings, I really like the layers and textures of the actual paint which seems to give them a luminescent quality.

The one thing that  I did find fascinating was the room with his studies and sketches &#8211; it was interesting to see where he was coming from and to see how the work evolved.
