Amedeo Modigliani | Portrait of Paulette Jourdain, 1919

One of the last paintings created by Modigliani, the Portrait of Paulette Jourdain is an outstanding example of the artist’s work. Pauline "Paulette" Jourdain was the housemaid and later the lover of Modigliani’s dealer Léopold Zborowski.
She is painted on one of the largest canvases used by the artist in a completely frontal, stately manner that directly engages the viewer.
She is presented with great dignity and presence, commanding our attention and respect.
The rich colors, transcendent light and dynamic surface further transform this painting into a masterwork.
The painting demonstrates well how the artist assimilated a broad range of influences from African art to Old Master paintings to create his own unique, sophisticated vision.

Antonio Mancini | Carminella, 1870

Nato a Roma da una famiglia di umili origini proveniente da Narni, Antonio Mancini (Roma, 1852-1930) cresce nel paese umbro e vi trascorre la sua infanzia ricevendo la sua prima formazione presso gli scolopi della chiesa di S. Agostino.
Probabilmente per assecondare il suo precoce talento e avviarlo a buoni studi artistici, la famiglia si trasferisce da Narni a Napoli nel 1865.
Qui frequenta la scuola dell'oratorio dei gerolomini e la scuola serale presso la chiesa di S. Domenico Maggiore, dove incontra il coetaneo Vincenzo Gemito con cui, nello stesso anno, inizia a frequentare lo studio dello scultore Stanislao Lista.

Alda Merini | Rosa di maggio

L’alba si è fatta
profumo di rose.

Rosa di maggio,
abbarbicata sul muro vetusto;
affresco di vita
corroso dagli scherni del tempo.

mentre parlavi dell’amore femineo,
hai figurato col cavo delle mani dolcemente
la raccolta e tremula dedizione d’un cuore.

Jacopo Zucchi | L'allegoria della Notte, 1588

"L'allegoria della Notte" di Jacopo Zucchi (1542-1596), è una delle nove tele dello splendido soffitto del Terrazzo delle Carte Geografiche, nel primo corridoio degli Uffizi a Firenze.
Fra le ombre della notte, al chiarore della luna, tutto può accadere.
