Red chalk study on fine laid paper (detail) — another moment within the imagined fresco cycle. It captures the silence before the gladiators face each other.



Studio a sanguigna su pregiata carta Ingres (dettaglio) — un altro momento dello stesso ciclo d’affresco immaginato. Coglie il silenzio prima che i gladiatori si affrontino.

What could be better than the portrait of a beautiful young woman? Of course, I painted mine. A secco painting, created entirely with lime-resistant pigments.

Cosa c’è di meglio del ritratto di una bella giovane donna? Naturalmente, ho dipinto il mio. Un dipinto a secco, realizzato interamente con pigmenti resistenti alla calce.

𝗙𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗮, 𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴, 2026

He displayed the highest degree of boldness and self-control. Heat and cold he endured equally well. He was the first to enter the battle and the last to leave the field.
To these great virtues of the man were matched equally great vices: an inhuman cruelty and a treachery more than Punic.

Titus Livius

𝗥𝗶𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗼 𝗱𝗶 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗮, 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗴𝗻𝗼 𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮, 2026

Egli mostrò audacia nel massimo grado e fermezza d’animo. Sopportava il caldo e il freddo con uguale resistenza. Era il primo a entrare in battaglia e l’ultimo a lasciare il campo.
A queste così grandi virtù dell’uomo facevano riscontro vizi altrettanto grandi: una crudeltà disumana e una slealtà più che punica.

Tito Livio

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗰𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴
(swipe)

For my study of a putto I used myself as the model — exactly 46 years ago. I worked from an old photograph, testing format and wings in a drawing.

Per il mio studio di un putto ho usato me stesso come modello — esattamente 46 anni fa. Ho lavorato da una vecchia fotografia, sperimentando formato e ali in un disegno.

𝘖𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭. – a sentence attributed to Max Liebermann. I would put it this way: The nobility of a painting reveals itself fully only through a simple and elegant frame.

𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯 𝘶𝘯𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘪 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘥𝘳𝘪 𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪. – una frase attribuita a Max Liebermann. Io lo formulerei così: La nobiltà di un dipinto emerge completamente solo grazie a una cornice semplice ed elegante.

Yesterday I helped Tübke (1929–2004) – the famous painter of the Peasants’ War Panorama in Bad Frankenhausen – take his place in the shadow-gap frame I had built the day before. He, too, had previously received a coat of gold leaf.

Ieri ho aiutato Werner Tübke (1929–2004) – il celebre pittore del Panorama della Guerra dei Contadini a Bad Frankenhausen – a prendere posto nella cornice a gola d’ombra che avevo costruito il giorno prima. Anche lui aveva ricevuto in precedenza un mantello di foglia d’oro.
