Paolo and Francesca – How can love, an instrument of spiritual elevation, bring instead death? An upset so great as to bring one to lose one's mind. Burn the galliard book Minosses sentenced. The Artist's "pietas" hold the two protagonists in a close-up: a moment of calm in the eternal storm that transports them. 



" CANTO XXII " 



oil on canvas 60×60 cm.


Artwork published in the catalog 'Stories of Light' Roberto Piaia meets the Masters Flemings and Dutch the '600 pag. 35, published Faenza Group, 2012 curated by

In the CANTO XXII Roberto Piaia ironically depicts the chaos of swindlers, emphasizing their earthly sins with drapes and tinsels. Silver, pewter and fine fabrics, represent the metaphor of their art of living dishonestly for today, grabbing everything they could as much as possible with vile means.



















His favourite pictoric subject is however the woman, who for him stands for beauty, not only external, strength and sweetness. We find confirmation of this in the great project recently taken on by Piaia, a true "Homage to Women", as if with his sensitivity he wishes to protest against the discrimination suffered by women over the course of the years. He shows their true value and puts them in the spotlight in his all female representation of the Divine Comedy. The project is composed of an entire pictoric cycle of forty two canvases, and five bronze and marble sculptures, these represent Hell in the thirty-four songs, the seven deadly sins and a rather important painting "The Supper". robertopiaia.com
