Gregor Erhart | La Belle Allemande, 1515-1520

This unusual figure represents saint Mary Magdalene as a mystic ascetic. According to legend, the repentant sinner lived a secluded life in the cave of Sainte-Baume, clothed only by her hair.

Every day she was raised up in the sky by angels to hear the heavenly chorus. The statue appeared on the German art market in the 19th century and was purchased by the Louvre in 1902.

Karen Dupré | Fashion painter

Karen Dupré, American painter, was born in California. She is a self-taught artist whose first inspiration stemmed from her interest in horses.

This fascination quickly led her to translate the splendor of these animals and other wildlife through drawing.

At age nine, Dupré began working in pastels, which soon progressed into the use of other mediums - primarily acrylic paints.

Since her early years as an artist, Dupré has broadened her repertoire to include landscapes, still life imagery, and figures, while never abandoning the wildlife that first sparked her imagination.

Rabindranath Tagore | Sonno /Sleep

Antonio Tordesillas, 1960

Nel tuo sonno, al limite dei sogni,

aspetto guardando in silenzio il tuo viso,

come la stella del mattino che appare per prima

alla tua finestra.

Con i miei occhi berrò' il primo sorriso

che, come un germoglio, sboccerà'

sulle tue labbra semiaperte.

Il mio desiderio e' solo questo...
