Nel Cimitero Monumentale di Staglieno a Genova c'è un'opera funeraria in marmo bianco tra le più belle che abbia mai visto: L'angelo della Morte di Giulio Monteverde.
Fu commissionata nel 1822 dal ricco banchiere genovese Francesco Oneto per la tomba di famiglia.
Monteverde rivoluziona completamente il modo di intendere un'opera funebre. Anziché scolpire congiunti in lacrime, dà forma ad un angelo che medita sul mistero della vita e della morte mentre veglia sulla tomba.
Il giovane angelo androgino, con il suo sguardo glaciale, conquista chi lo guarda dritto negli occhi e, nello stesso tempo, seduce con il richiamo della morte.

for the weirdly specific artist ask game: 7 and 14 (love your art so much <3)
Hey you 💜💜💜 that's lucky because I love you so much 😘💖
7. A medium of art you don’t work in but appreciate
Oh damn, so many!! I do not have the patience to paint irl but I'm a simp for traditional style paintings - Titian is my favourite old master, also a bit soft on Caravaggio. I love a lot of religious art, particularly altar pieces and icons which use a lot of egg tempera and gold leaf. This Madonna of the Rose Garden is one of my favourites I've seen in person, the depth of texture and detail was breathtaking! (Ignore me stealing a shot from wikipedia)
Tumblr media
A more contemporary artist would be Ruth Speer, @septemberwildflowers on IG, who I have been trying to obtain a print of for ages.
In the same vein, completely in love with stone carving sculpture, particularly the kind you see in graveyards like Cimitero monumentale di Staglieno, I got lucky to go visit there in 2010 and I still have the photos in my references folder. It's wild to me how delicate and organic stone can be when handled perfectly- and no mistakes! That's insane levels of talent, I am in awe. I could probably go on and on about so many different mediums, it fuels a part of me that nothing else could ever touch.
14. Any favorite motifs
I think, apologies for getting too pretentious, the thing I seem to gravitate most to is devotion - whether that's between lovers in frame, an emotional intrinsic link happening outside of the frame, or in a literal sense of my devotion to using every colour imaginable. I like to flirt with lot of religious imagery as well (shocking) like halos, bursting light, kneeling (👅).
Oh, and hairy butts.
Love you @nofeelingisfinall you inspire me every day 💜💜💜 thank you for the ask!!
