Karl Kaufmann | Landscape painter

Karl Kaufmann (1843-1902) started his artistic education at the Academy of Vienna. He subsequently travelled through European countries, such as Norway, the Netherlands, Germany or Italy.

Kaufmann developed a sensitive feeling for environments and atmospheres, which helped him to specialise in landscape and architectural painting.

One special feature of his oeuvre is his habit to sign his works with pseudonyms.

For instance, the names 'B. Lambert', 'Charles Marchand' or 'C. Charpentier' are well-known signatures by Kaufmann. The majority of his works belongs to private collections.

Dante Gabriel Rossetti | The Sonnet / Il sonetto

The Sonnet

A Sonnet is a moment's monument,-

Memorial from the Soul's eternity

To one dead deathless hour. Look that it be,

Whether for lustral rite or dire portent,

Of its own intricate fulness reverent:

Carve it in ivory or in ebony,

As Day or Night prevail; and let Time see

Its flowering crest impearled and orient.

D'Annunzio / Antonio Sgarbossa | Rimani / Stay!

Rimani! Riposati accanto a me.
Non te ne andare.
Io ti veglierò. Io ti proteggerò.
Ti pentirai di tutto fuorchè d'essere venuto a me, liberamente, fieramente.
Ti amo. Non ho nessun pensiero che non sia tuo;
non ho nel sangue nessun desiderio che non sia per te.
Lo sai. Non vedo nella mia vita altro compagno, non vedo altra gioia
Rimani.
Riposati. Non temere di nulla.
Dormi stanotte sul mio cuore....

Gabriele D'Annunzio (1863-1938) Scrittore, poeta, drammaturgo, militare, politico e giornalista italiano.
