In Gonzalez's piece In His Silence, we see the artist's love of art history, the crown of sacred fire or light was inspired by Redon's The Crown (Musee d'Orsay 1910), the stone sculpture he based on Alexandre Falguiere's 1867 Tarcisius, boy martyr (Musee d'Orsay).
The oval shape occurring in Gonzalez's flaming halo and in the plywood is the mandorla or vesica, the almond- or fish-shaped oval of light expressing spiritual radiance in sacred art, since the fish had been one of the secret signs of Christianity among the early believers and martyrs.
