- WOMEN IN THE RISORGIMENTO
Original artwork description
Artwork in which I devised the imaginary portrait of Marietta Piccolomini (Siena 1834 - Florence 1899), soprano and great interpreter of opera music in the Italian Risorgimento. Prominent personality in an important historical period for Italy, from 1850 to 1860, the decade that preluded and saw national unification defined. The path will also be marked by Marietta, who, thanks to her great visibility, was able to become an ideal ambassador for Italy by committing herself directly, among other things by offering the proceeds of her concerts for the common cause. This work embodies the strength and spirit of women in the Risorgimento era, fused with the aesthetics of expressionism and realism. I used oil to evoke emotional intensity and depth, capturing the fighting soul and dignity in a thoughtful gaze. My intent is to instill energy and inspiration, reminding us of the historical and moral importance of these figures in every home through vivid colors and composition.
