Perhaps this picture shows us that each and every leaf is worth attending to. Looked at closely each leaf is a solid form. Stand away from the picture, and it is a pattern with three centres to be found?

IAlan was enthralled by the image at the start of Dante's Inferno, in which the poet, at the midpoint of his life, finds himself in a dark wood

Alan painted images from each of the three parts of Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy". All three can be seen in the chapel of Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford.

For special friends Alan painted his only mural in a poolhouse in Northamptonshire

The first major retrospective exhibtion of Alan's work will be staged at Clare Hall in Cambridge from 9 October until 19 November 2025.

The Alan Caine In School Project aims to carry forward Alan's passion for art education by integrating his work into the school curriculum.
