Non so... se stare sveglia per guardarti...
od addormentarmi
con la speranza di non sognarti...
per non svegliarmi
di nuovo..
ed ancora..
con il tuo sapore...
dell'attesa...
della impaziente voglia di averti...

John Pototschnik, 1946 | Plein air painter
'My artistic influences are diverse, ranging from the Barbizon painters of Corot, Daubigny and Millet to the American tonalist, George Inness.
I believe all I need to know of the principles of art are to be found in the works of the masters.
My paintings are not flamboyant, mysterious, trendy or shocking but I am interested in depicting the truth about life, as I see it, in a naturalistic way free of frills and bravado.
John Porter Lasater IV | Plein air painter
'Art is a trifle. I think I can take it too seriously. It will soon be lost in time. I don’t mean the artists are a trifle.
What we are doing is of great importance. It’s the art itself that in my mind is of lesser value.
Most of us hope and wish that somehow our product will be epic and immortal, and it might be, but I can’t let that be my motivation' - John Porter Lasater IV

Giuseppe De Nittis | Veduta di Londra (The Victoria Embankment, London), 1875
The extended trips made by the artist to London (1875-1881) coincided with one of the happiest and most productive of his short life.
It was in London that De Nittis befriended artists such as Tissot, Millais, Leighton, Watts and Alma Tadema.
While in London he stayed with one of his patrons, the banker Kaye Knowles.
It was not just the physical aspects of these cityscapes that proved to be difficult to fully master, but London's distinctive light and atmosphere was a principal challenge for the artist.

Stefano Maderno | Baroque sculptor
Stefano Maderno (1576-1636), a sculptor of the Roman School and of the era just preceding Bernini, his contemporary.
He is believed to be of Lombard origin from the neighbourhood of Como; probably he was related to Carlo Maderna, the architect and sculptor, who was also born near Como, at Bissone.
Stefano's works are found frequently in churches upon which Carlo was engaged.
