Apotheosis http://aroseniusarchive.org/#/image/AVsAtYiZ3nZi0sZ_YCAd
"Verklighetsstudiet befruktade hans fantasikompositioner — i självporträttet dominerar det sedda över det uppfunna. När han samma år gjorde ett första försök till sammanfattande och allmängiltig skildring av befriad livsglädje och av sinnesrus, med ”Apoteos” (tempera), anknöt han också till verkligheten. Bild 116. Miljön är här densamma eller nära besläktad med den som han skildrat i ”På gäst givaregården”." Sven Sandström, 1959, s. 170
