RI-VISITAZIONE CON GEKO (Re-visiting with gecko)

DIMENSIONS

30x40 cm

TECHNIQUE AND SUPPORT

oil on cracked canvas

YEAR

2006

PROJECT

The painting is part of the cycle “Le Sante Sospese” (The Pending “Sante”)

Profile of a renaissance woman (The Virgin Mary's face), copy of a painting by the 16th century Italian “mannerist” painter Pontormo.
A detail from Pontormo's work "La Visitazione" (The Visitation), copied and modified with a modern tattoo: a small gecko on the white neck of the Virgin Mary. The other defendants still did not see it. Who knows what they will say when they notice it!!
The title is an Italian pun between VISITAZIONE (original title of Pontormo's painting, meaning VISITING) and RI-VISITAZIONE (which means "visiting again" or "re-interpretation" of something like a theatrical piece, poetry or, like here, a painting).
S.B.
