Hundertwasser's comment on the work
Begun as a watercolour on the cruise ship S/S Delos, without leaving the ship. The title, "End of the Greeks, Ostrogoths and Visigoths" is completely intuitive, in the hope that there is somehow a connection. At the time I made a flask vase for Murano with a flask head like this. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 488)
