Italian Art #1

Italian Art # 1 is a black and white photo shoot made by the Italian artist Edoardo Montaina .

Fine-Art Print on Canson Baryta Photographique paper.

Signed, numbered and titled in black ink on the center of the paper. From an edition of 9 specimens , plus 2 artist proofs. In excellent conditions.

Montaina builds a new image from two details of two masterpieces of Italian art: the legs of Paolina Borghese by Antonio Canova and the legs caught in midair by the Baroque genius of Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the group of Il ratto di Proserpina .

This asymmetric image, strongly contrasted, and halfway between the abstract and the figurative, is the result of research on the concept of symmetry, so dear to the artist.
