ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Author:Noktys Title:Madame Butterfly Dimensions: H50x W40 Oil painting on plywood This painting Include frame from image and Certificate of Authenticity by author ,on the back. Author's description: Represented for the first time in 1904 on the stage of La Scala in Milan, the opera of the same name by Giacomo Puccini was to make famous the story of the little Cio Cio San, written by Martin Luther Long around 1898. The heartbreaking love story between a beautiful geisha named Cio Cio San and the American Navy lieutenant Benjamin Pinkerton sheds light on an existential drama born at the confluence of two different conceptions of life. Finding nothing wrong in "training" this "butterfly" for the "sweet flight of love", Pinkerton marries Cio Cio San, although he did not intend to settle in Japan, and considers the marriage contract a temporary commitment,as well as renting a house. But Cio Cio San takes this marriage seriously and sacrifices everything she has on the altar of love, which, in her conception, is a sacred thing. In the name of this love, she renounces the cult of her ancestors and is renegaded by her family. The loss of ethnic identity has deep meanings, marking her transformation from Cio Cio San, "the butterfly from the Land of the Rising Sun"in to Madame Butterfly. Abandoned by her husband, although they had a child together, she realizes the cruel reality only when Pinkerton returns after a three-year absence in the company of another woman he had married in America. Realizing that she has lost everything, Madame Butterfly remembers the message written on the dagger with which her father had taken his life through the seppuku ritual: "He who cannot live with honor must die with honor." Inspired by this sad story, the painting illustrates the dramatic moment when Madame Butterfly, again Cio Cio San, in the right Japanese tradition, decides to end of a dishonorable existence by ending her life alone with her father's samurai sword.`
