"Symbolised: Unveiling the Hidden Meanings in Art and History" Step into a world where every stroke of a brush, every line on a canvas, and every engraving carries profound symbolism. From the elegance of the Hispano-Suiza Car in 1932 to the mesmerizing Allegory of Music painted in 1649, these works transport us to realms beyond their mere physical existence. Intriguingly, Zeus takes flight as an eagle in an enchanting 18th-century engraving, reminding us of his majestic power. Meanwhile, "The Corsican bloodhound pursued by the Russian bear" captivates our imagination with its gripping illustration from 1895—a symbolic representation of Napoleon Bonaparte's relentless pursuit. Delving deeper into this realm of symbols, we encounter Death personified. In one chilling scene from an 18th-century engraving titled "The skeleton of Death murdering a bookseller, " mortality confronts knowledge itself. A haunting vignette depicts a man hanging from a gibbet alongside a skeletal figure—an eerie reminder that life is fleeting. But not all encounters with Death are gruesome; sometimes they carry social commentary. An intriguing engraving from 1792 portrays The skeleton of Death whipping a prostitute with cat-o-nine-tails—a stark depiction highlighting societal vices and moral decay. As we turn through history's pages further still, Volume 2 of Deaths Doings reveals its title page engraved in 1827—beckoning us to explore more tales entwined with mortality's touch. And who can forget Francisco Goya's masterpiece? "The execution of May 3rd" immortalizes heroism amidst tragedy—an oil painting that forever etches bravery onto our collective memory. Yet even artists themselves are not spared from death's embrace. Domenico Morelli meets his untimely demise captured vividly in color lithography—the passing away of Italy's greatest contemporary artist, forever commemorated.
