THE PORTRAIT OF CARAVAGGIO AT THE ROYAL PALACE OF NAPLES

If you visit the Royal Palace in Naples, don’t forget to look for Caravaggio’s portrait, which can be found in one of the oldest frescoed vaults in the palace.

The artist who frescoed the vault, and who painted the portrait of the great master, is Battistello Caracciolo. One of the most important 17th century Neapolitan artists, who more than any other incorporated Caravaggio’s teachings when he came to Naples.

THE MAN-NATURE RELATIONSHIP IN THE WORKS OF ZEROOTTOUNO

In Zeroottouno’s works, nature is not only the subject of artistic representation, but is an active part, a true creative force that interacts with anyone who wants to tune in to it and to their heart.

Since its beginnings, Zeroottouno has explored the relationship between man and the environment, looking at nature as the protagonist of its own investigation.

The discipline of silence and the works of Pino Biggi

THE DISCIPLINE OF SILENCE AND THE WORKS OF PINO BIGGI

In complicated and noisy times, observing Pinto Biggi’s works is almost therapeutic.
His visions instil an inner calm that few works can give, and after all, his references were great artists like Duccio and Savinio.

The secret, I believe, is silence.
A silence that lurks in his works and emerges from them to pervade the viewer and instil that serenity that we probably badly need today.

ENERGY AND VITALITY IN JONONE’S WORKS

Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn and JonOne’s works are pure emotions depicted on paper, charged with passion and colour.
The main characteristic of JonOne’s unmistakable art is the extraordinary energy that is released through the intersection of lines, letters and splashes of colour.

THE SCENOGRAPHIC WORKS OF NELLO PETRUCCI

Nello Petrucci’s works are strongly influenced by cinema, in particular by film posters that are revisited by the artist as legacies of historical memory in which past and present coexist.
However, he is also sensitive to environmental and social issues to which he has dedicated works such as ‘Plastic River’, a public installation depicting a whale full of waste.

“I strongly believe in the power of art, and what it can do through connecting people…” – Nello Petrucci
