Old Italy - Limited Edition of 100 Photograph

- Canvas: Canson Museum Pro Canvas 385 gsm 100% cotton - Printed: HP Z9+ DreamColor mineral pigment - Made in Brazil Wilde evokes in his visit, a year earlier, to Rávena, strangely silent and deserted, half-enchanted of an enchanted city, wrapped in an atmosphere of oblivion. Reposan in the tombs of him Gastón de Foix, Theodoric and Dante; y hierba grows among the marbles on the floor of the palace where Byron, the great man of England, who fell for the independence of Greece, lived. In El Pinar, in the amber light of the dark, it seems to reappear to the ancient divinities of the woods; but the charm is broken by the touches of the convent bell towers. Raven fell from her ancient grandeur, from her ancient splendor; deprived of its age-old dignity, abandoned by the sea, it rests in the lonely sadness and rebirth of the other cities of Italy, freed from foreign domination. The silence of its ruins warns you that you are all human greatness. The poem is slightly academic in its elaborate formal beauty and in the expression of often conventional feelings and thoughts. If you notice the Byronic inspiration; at times we seem to accompany the pilgrim Harold (v.) on his poetic itinerary through the cities of Italy. The early Catholic claims of Wilde, who is now an admirer of the pagan Swinburne, have vanished. The poem is written in yambic endecasílabos with a coupled rhyme. This is the verse of Dryden and Pope, which restrains the impetus of poetic inspiration, and gives descriptions and meditations a somewhat refined linear elegance. TP Pieraccini
