This magnificent composition, depicting two little fluttering cupids intent on holding up a garland of flowers, can be traced back, both for the stylistic characteristics and for the compositional taste, to a master active in the fervid seventeenth-century Baroque Rome.
One of the two cupids is about to grab the bow of the garland with his head facing downwards, while with the other hand he shows a parchment which bears, in addition to the date of execution, the Latin expression "Pulchriora latent" ("The the most beautiful things...

Emilio Greco, (born Oct. 11, 1913, Catania, Italy—died April 5, 1995, Rome), Italian sculptor of bronze and marble figurative works, primarily female nudes and portraits.
At the age of 13, Greco was apprenticed to a stonemason, and he later studied at the Academy of Art in Palermo. Though he began exhibiting in Rome in 1943, he was not well-established until after World War II. His first solo exhibition was held in 1946, and in 1948 he became a teaching assistant at the Artistic Secondary School in Rome.
His subject matter varied little throughout his career. In their refined, elongated forms and assertive balance, his sculpted figures...

"Lobstermen in Gloucester, Mass." Lionel Reiss WPA Social Realism Fishermen
By Lionel S. Reiss
Located in New York, NY
Lionel S. Reiss (1894 - 1988)
Lobstermen in Gloucester, Massachusetts, circa 1943
Watercolor on paper
Sight 17 1/2 x 23 inches
Signed lower left
Provenance:
Private Collection, Las Vegas, Nevada
In describing his own style, Lionel Reiss wrote, “By nature, inclination, and training, I have long since recognized the fact that...I belong to the category of those who can only gladly affirm the reality of the world I live in.” Reiss’s subject matter was wide-ranging, including gritty New York scenes, landscapes of bucolic Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and seascapes around Gloucester, Massachusetts. However, it was as a painter of Jewish life—both in Israel and in Europe before World War II—that Reiss excelled. I.B. Singer, the Nobel Prize winner for Literature, noted that Reiss was “essentially an artist of the nineteenth century, and because of this he had the power and the courage to tell visually the story of a people.”
Although Reiss was born in Jaroslaw, Poland, his family immigrated to the United States in 1898 when he was four years old. Reiss's family settled on New York City’s Lower East Side and he lived in the city for most of his life. Reiss attended the Art Students League and then worked as a commercial artist for newspapers and publishers. As art director for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, he supposedly created the studio’s famous lion logo.
After World War I, Reiss became fascinated with Jewish life in the ‘Old World.’ In 1921 he left his advertising work and spent the next ten years traveling in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Like noted Jewish photographers Alter Kacyzne and Roman Vishniac, Reiss depicted Jewish life in Poland prior to World War II. He later wrote, “My trip encompassed three main objectives: to make ethnic studies of Jewish types wherever I traveled; to paint and draw Jewish life, as I saw it and felt it, in all aspects; and to round out my work in Israel.”
In Europe, Reiss recorded quotidian scenes in a variety of media and different settings such as Paris, Amsterdam, the Venice ghetto, the Jewish cemetery in Prague, and an array of shops, synagogues, streets, and marketplaces in the Jewish quarters of Warsaw, Lodz, Krakow, Lublin, Vilna, Ternopil, and Kovno. He paid great attention to details of dress, hair, and facial features, and his work became noted for its descriptive quality.
A selection of Reiss’s portraits appeared in 1938 in his book My Models Were Jews. In this book, published on the eve of the Holocaust, Reiss argued that there was “no such thing as a ‘Jewish race’.” Instead, he claimed that the Jewish people were a cultural group with a great deal of diversity within and between Jewish communities around the world. Franz Boas...

Festa galante nel parco. Scuola francese. Metà XVIII secolo
Located in Milan, IT
La scena raffigura una festa all’interno di un parco cintato da mura con varchi ad arco che si aprono sulla campagna, e ornato sulla destra con un’anfora su colonnina e al centro, dietro le figure, con una fontana zampillante, con statue di putti e conchiglie.
Due coppie di dame e gentiluomini riccamente vestiti si intrattengono galantemente, circondati dalla servitù; uno degli uomini sta suonando il violino, accovacciato davanti alla sua dama che, affiancata dalla damigella, segue la melodia sullo spartito retto dal moretto al suo fianco, mentre due musicanti accompagnano la suonata con il flauto e un mandolino; l’altra coppia, in atteggiamento di dialogo intimo, ascolta sulla sinistra, mentre sulla destra anche il cacciatore che rientra dalla caccia osserva la scena.
Nella scena spicca in particolare il ricco abito della dama al centro, caratterizzato dalle ampie pieghe posteriori ricadenti dalle spalle a creare un mantello. Tale abito corrisponde a quello che veniva chiamato “robe à la Watteau”, dal nome del pittore francese Antoine Watteau che per primo ritrasse signore indossanti questo modello.
Antoine Watteau (1684 -1721), pittore francese considerato uno dei più influenti esponenti francesi della pittura rococò, fu il precursore del genere pittorico delle scene galanti, genere sviluppatosi in Francia dalla fine del ‘600 e protrattosi per tutto il secolo successivo.
Le scene galanti si potevano considerare come la versione aristocratica della scene di genere: caratterizzate da musica, danze, piacevoli conversazioni fra dame e gentiluomini attorniati dalla servitù, tendevano a esaltare i costumi, gli abiti alla moda, gli ambienti della classe elevata, trasmettendo una sorta di distacco dai tempi e i luoghi reali, proiettando lo spettatore in una atmosfera quasi teatrale, fatta di gesti, sguardi, colori e luci da palcoscenico.
Peraltro Watteau, insieme ai cicli delle Fêtes galantes, si distinse anche per quelli ispirati al teatro, assorbendo la passione per le scene e i personaggi di tale ambiente da Claude Gillot...
