Mi crolla addosso la notte
"your wild kiss in the dark" che...
in assenza di te
sprofonda e avanza
dentro di me...

Filippo Palizzi | Pastore addormentato con il suo cane, 1850-1855
Filippo Palizzi (1818-1899) con il fratello Giuseppe, rappresenta il primo tentativo di un indirizzo verista nella pittura italiana dell'Ottocento.
Sulla scia della Scuola di Posillipo e di una spontanea inclinazione orientò il suo lavoro verso una dettagliata osservazione del vero.
Fu tra i primi pittori a interessarsi di fotografia ed a praticarla, sulla base di conoscenze tecniche molto approfondite.

Leonardo da Vinci | Differenza tra la Pittura e la Scultura
Trattato della Pittura
Parte prima | Capitolo 32
Tra la pittura e la scultura non trovo altra differenza, senonché lo scultore conduce le sue opere con maggior fatica di corpo che il pittore, ed il pittore conduce le opere sue con maggior fatica di mente.
Provasi cosí esser vero, conciossiaché lo scultore nel fare la sua opera fa per forza di braccia e di percussione a consumare il marmo, od altra pietra soverchia, ch'eccede la figura che dentro a quella si rinchiude, con esercizio meccanicissimo, accompagnato spesse volte da gran sudore composto di polvere e convertito in fango, con la faccia impastata, e tutto infarinato di polvere di marmo che pare un fornaio, e coperto di minute scaglie, che pare gli sia fioccato addosso; e l'abitazione imbrattata e piena di scaglie, e di polvere di pietre.
