Cicale, sorelle, nel sole
con voi mi nascondo
nel folto dei pioppi
e aspetto le stelle.

se lo impiegherai bene potrai ricavarne qualcosa.

William Bouguereau / Franz Liszt | Liebestraum (Dreams of Love)
Liebesträume (German for Dreams of Love) is a set of three solo piano nocturnes (S.541/R.211) by Franz Liszt published in 1850.

Franz Liszt | Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C-sharp minor
Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C-sharp minor, S.244/2, is the second in a set of 19 Hungarian Rhapsodies by composer Franz Liszt, published in 1851, and is by far the most famous of the set.
The Hungarian-born composer and pianist Franz Liszt was strongly influenced by the music heard in his youth, particularly Hungarian folk music, with its unique gypsy scale, rhythmic spontaneity and direct, seductive expression.
These elements would eventually play a significant role in Liszt's compositions.

Gustave Caillebotte | Painter - Member and patron of the Impressionists
Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894) was a French painter who was a member and patron of the Impressionists, although he painted in a more realistic manner than many others in the group.
Caillebotte's sizable allowance, along with the inheritance he received after the death of his father in 1874 and his mother in 1878, allowed him to paint without the pressure to sell his work.
It also allowed him to help fund Impressionist exhibitions and support his fellow artists and friends (Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, and Camille Pissarro among others) by purchasing their works and, at least in the case of Monet, paying the rent for their studios.
Butterflies | Van Gogh series, 1889-1890
In May 1889, Van Gogh began work on Green Peacock Moth which he self-titled Death's Head Moth.
The moth, called death's head, is a rarely seen nocturnal moth.
He described the large moth's colors "of amazing distinction, black, grey, cloudy white tinged with carmine or vaguely shading off into olive green".
Behind the moth is a background of Lords-and-Ladies.
