Othello and Desdemona: "Heaven is my judge"

Othello (The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice) (ca. 1603) by William Shakespeare is a concentrated, tightly constructed domestic tragedy, with almost no subplot for relief, centered on five or six central characters.

Othello is commonly considered one of Shakespeare's great tragedies and one of his finest works.

Act I

In following him, I follow but myself.

• Iago, scene I

Heaven is my judge, not I for love and duty,

But seeming so, for my peculiar end:

For when my outward action doth demonstrate

The native act and figure of my heart

In compliment extern, 'tis not long after

But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve

For daws to peck at: I am not what I am.

• Iago, scene I

Valeria Corvino, 1953

Valeria Corvino was born in Naples and trained through the study of the amazing artistic wealth of her hometown.

Roman sculpture, capricious Baroque, everyday familiarity with fragments of antiquity, the architectural palimpsest of its territory are its first "masters", together with a completely Mediterranean passion for the secrets of the anatomy and the beauty of the human body.

After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts, he studied the problems of composition working on photography, and therefore on cuts, the zoomed image, the play of light and shadows.

Combining pictorial training, the passion for sculptural volumes, the secrets of photographic framing, he comes to perfect his innate propensity for balance and harmony.
