Claude Debussy / Paul Verlaine | Clair de Lune, 1869

Clair de Lune is a French poem written by Paul Verlaine in 1869.

It is the inspiration for the third and most famous movement of Debussy's 1890 Suite bergamasque of the same name.
The poem has also been set to music by Gabriel Fauré.

Your soul is a delicate landscape

Where roam charming masks and bergamasques

Playing the lute and dancing and seeming almost

Sad under their whimsical disguises.

While singing in minor mode

Of victorious love and easy life

They don't seem to believe in their happiness

And their song is mingling with the moonshine,

With the sad and beautiful moonshine,

Which makes the birds in the tree dream

And sob with ecstasy the water streams,

The great slim water streams among the marbles.

Vincenzo Cardarelli / Jimmy Lawlor | I gabbiani /Seagulls

Non so dove i gabbiani abbiano il nido,
ove trovino pace.
Io son come loro
in perpetuo volo.
La vita la sfioro
com'essi l'acqua ad acciuffare il cibo.

Le Bagnanti nell'Arte

Il tema delle bagnanti "The Bathers" - l’inserimento delle figure nel paesaggio, occupa una parte cospicua nella produzione pittorica dei grandi maestri, diventando fondamentale per la stessa storia dell'Arte.

Le numerosissime tele di Cézanne influenzarono profondamente tutti i protagonisti delle avanguardie, da Matisse a Braque, da Picasso a Moore.

Soprattutto Picasso e Matisse, e tramite loro gran parte dei pittori del Novecento, pur attraverso percorsi diversi, gli saranno debitori di nuove possibilità espressive del linguaggio pittorico.
