Dèi, eroi e vecchie storie

Miti e leggende

Le vecchie storie, raccontate in pittura. Isfandiyar che uccide il suo drago nello Shahnameh, Hanuman che porta le erbe curative a Rama e Lakshmana, il giudizio di Paride di Cranach, Diana sorpresa al bagno, il dio fluviale di Rubens che festeggia i suoi ospiti, il gigante cieco di Poussin che cammina verso il sole nascente e gli dèi di Tiepolo che si affollano su un soffitto. Racconti persiani, indiani ed europei fianco a fianco.

Come puzzle

Affollato, colorato e gentile. Figure, armature, ali e stoffe accese riempiono questi quadri fino ai bordi, e le pitture di libro aggiungono colore piatto dentro cornici tracciate. I cieli morbidi dei soffitti veneziani e i fondi scuri dietro i nudi sono i tratti più lenti, quindi comincia dalle persone e dai mostri.
