Platone e Aristotele, 1992

1992

About the Item

Tecnica mista su tela. Al verso presenti firma, titolo, data e dedica. Paolo Baratella, artista ferrarese recentemente scomparso, ha sviluppato la sua arte componendo vasti cicli pittorici ispirati a soggetti contemporanei; di lui si hanno pertanto delle serie di opere riunite sotto titoli significativi. Dalla fmetà degli anni '80 e negli anni Duemila, i suoi apparati scenografici si arricchiscono maggiormente di riferimenti iconografici culturali, pittorici e letterali. In particolare Baratella si rivolge con maggiore attenzione all`iconografia dell`arte, della filosofia e della storia. In quest'opera l'artista presenta i ritratti dei due sommi filosofi greci (presi dalle loro raffigurazioni tradizionali classiche) e li sfuma in una cornice di colori rosa-azzurro. Le due singole tele sono affiancate all'interno di una cornice in legno lavorato, sui cui due traversi orizzontali sono incise le parole "Timeo" opera scritta da Platone, e "Etica" tema ricorrente della filosofia aristotelica.

  • Porcelain tablet Queen Louise of Prussia, Berlin, last quarter of the 19th cen.
    Located in Milan, IT
    Painted porcelain tile, on which Louise of Prussia is depicted. The queen is dressed in a white dress edged with gold, in an Empire style, while on one of her shoulders she wears a blue cloak lined with ermine; her blond hair is gathered and held in place thanks to a golden diadem. Luisa is coming down the steps of a classical building: the base and the lower part of a tapered column can be glimpsed, just as the herms in the background look to the ancient world, while in the background she sees a wooded landscape. The porcelain is branded on the back with the royal scepter...
