Ciro Palumbo, 1965 | Surrealist / Symbolist painter

By Art periods and styles , ,
Ciro Palumbo was born in Zurich, currently resides and works in Torino.
His artistic career was originally influenced by the poetics of the Metaphysical school of Giorgio de Chirico and Alberto Savinio, reinventing however those foundations with a personal and completely original interpretation.
In his research, he proceeded through moments of contemplation and metaphyisical silences, contrasted by nocturnal and intimately wrought expressivity, where one can feel the clean break from the silent immobility which resides in the works of the Pictor Optimus.
His art represents therefore stages on which objects are carriers of oniric symbolism.

La Reggia di Versailles

By Art periods and styles , ,
Il Giardino della Reggia di Versailles è un'antica residenza reale. La città di Versailles, nata dalla diffidenza del giovane Luigi XIV verso la capitale e i suoi cittadini, temuti e considerati difficili da tenere sotto controllo, dopo l'episodio della Fronda, costituisce oggi un comune autonomo situato nell'attuale dipartimento delle Yvelines, in Francia. All'inizio del XVII secolo, Versailles non era che un modesto edificio costruito sotto Luigi XIII al limite delle foreste, il suo luogo di caccia preferito. Nel 1661, suo figlio Luigi XIV decise di ingrandirlo e trasformarlo nel prestigioso castello circondato da un grande parco alberato simbolo dell'assolutismo. Fino al regno di Luigi Filippo, il castello di Versailles e il suo parco furono ristrutturati più volte. La grande tempesta del 26 dicembre 1999 distrusse le piante del parco e permise finalmente di predisporre un grande programma di reimpianto delle essenze originali nel loro allineamento dell'epoca.
Durante la guerra franco-prussiana del 1870, la città fu occupata dai Prussiani che vi stabilirono il loro quartier generale dal 18 settembre 1870 al 12 marzo 1871. Nel 1871, durante l'insurrezione della Comune di Parigi, il governo e il parlamento francesi si installarono a Napoli.

La Cappella degli Scrovegni

By Art periods and styles , ,

San Michele trafigge Satan
La Cappella degli Scrovegni, Padova - Italy, dedicata a Santa Maria della Carità ed affrescata tra il 1303-1305 da Giotto (1267-1337) su incarico di Enrico degli Scrovegni, costituisce uno dei massimi capolavori dell'arte occidentale.
Il senso della natura e della storia, il senso d'umanità e di fede fusi assieme per narrare in un modo unico, irripetibile le storie della Madonna e di Cristo.
Colore e luce, poesia e pathos, l'uomo e Dio. La narrazione ricopre interamente le pareti con le storie della Vergine e di Cristo, mentre nella contro-facciata è dipinto il grandioso Giudizio Universale, con il quale si conclude la vicenda della salvazione umana.
Giotto termino' gli affreschi entro i primi mesi del 1306.

Pompei sotto l'ira del Vesuvio

By Art periods and styles , , ,
L'eruzione del 79 d.C del Vesuvio è probabilmente la più nota eruzione vulcanica della storia.
Essa fu descritta da Plinio il Giovane in due lettere in cui raccontava le tragiche circostanze della morte dello zio, Plinio il Vecchio, partito con una nave dal porto militare di Miseno (Campi Flegrei) per portare soccorso agli abitanti di Pompei a seguito dell'eruzione.
Da qui il termine eruzione pliniana per questo tipo di fenomeno particolarmente violento e distruttivo.
