Heath Ledger's Final Painting
The ink was barely dry on this painting when Heath Ledger was found dead.
Melbourne artist Vincent Fantauzzo had been putting the finishing touches on his painting of the star at his Docklands studio on Tuesday. Wednesday he found out Heath had died.
Fantauzzo painted Ledger with the intention of entering the portrait in the prestigious Archibald Prize later this year. But the newly finished work got an early showing yesterday, when, with the approval of the Ledger family, Fantauzzo released the image to the media.
Ledger sat for Fantauzzo on his last visit home to Perth in December.
