Arthur Schopenhauer: "Le anime affini si salutano già da lontano"

Quelli che si amano e che sono nati gli uni per gli altri,
si incontrano facilmente:
le anime affini
si salutano già da lontano.

Manet e l'Impressionismo

Manet viene giustamente inserito nella genealogia dell'Impressionismo.
Egli, infatti, fu l'artefice di una pittura priva di forti variazioni chiaroscurali, e più sensibile al contrasto ed alle armonie fra i colori piuttosto che alla definizione dei volumi: queste peculiarità, se da un lato furono accolte molto freddamente da molti, dall'altro giocarono un ruolo fondamentale nell'affermazione della pittura impressionista, animata da artisti come Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Sisley, Cézanne, Bazille ed altri.

Caravaggio | Life and works

Arrogant, rebellious and a murderer, Caravàggio's short and tempestuous life matched the drama of his works. Characterised by their dramatic, almost theatrical lighting, Caravàggio's paintings were controversial, popular, and hugely influential on succeeding generations of painters all over Europe.
Born Michelangelo Merisi (1571-1610), Caravàggio is the name of the artist's home town in Lombardy in northern Italy.
In 1592, at the age of 21 he moved to Rome, Italy's artistic centre and an irresistible magnet for young artists keen to study its classical buildings and famous works of art. The first few years were a struggle. He specialised in still lifes of fruits and flowers, and later, half length figures (as in 'The Boy bitten by a Lizard') which he sold on the street.
