my cousin from belguim was here some time ago and so i was forced to show him around the centre despite the unbearable heat and overwhelming flux of tourist.
As we are walking around visiting, i decided ti find refuge by going to a free art exhibition. Figured it would be like killing two birds with one stone.
so i stumbled upon Roberto Ferri.
to be honest i foung his art to be rather morbid and distrubing. His paintings were rather grotesque takes of both roman mythology and Biblical episodes.
what was interesting was the style, very much renaissancy and evidently very classical...great attention to detail and a particular emphasis on the human form, with muscular men and women merged and into storytelling canvases in rather dark colours, and overall quite macabre.
I just thought seeing as i did a section of my research on Religious fanaticism, i thought the style of painting could be tied back to this. Plus with the work that i did on the human figure i was just impressed by the bodies and their depictions.
