William-Adolphe Bouguereau | Pietà, 1876

Upon its exhibition at the Paris Salon of 1876, William Bouguereau's monumental Pietà received unanimous praise from critics for its sincere emotion and poignant devotion (Doucet, Les peintres français, Paris, n.d., p. 164).
More than a century later, the painting remains one of the most moving interpretations of, not only the Life of Christ, but of man's personal tragedy as well.
The immediate inspiration for Pietà came not from Bouguereau's devout Christianity, but from the painful loss of his eldest son Georges who died on July 19, 1875 at the age of sixteen.
After spending several months overwhelmed by grief, Bouguereau sought to lift his spirits by fully immersing himself in his art.

Canaletto | The Molo Seen from the San Marco Basin, 1730

Canaletto | The Molo Seen from the San Marco Basin, 1730 | Louvre Museum, Paris

Canaletto (1697-1768)🎨 painted some ten versions of this subject, the most similar to this one being in the Uffizi in Florence.
The prototype for the series can be dated to around 1730.
Beginning in the 15th century, and especially in the 18th century, Venetian painters delighted in depicting parts of their city in exact detail.
The Rome-trained painter Luca Carlevaris (1663-1730) adopted the tradition in Venice and handed it on to his apprentice Antonio Canal, who combined it with experience gained from his father, a theatre set designer.

Auguste Rodin | Fugitive Love, 1886

This small group which originally featured in La Porte de l'Enfer (The Gates of Hell) commissioned in 1880, was the biggest project of Rodin's life.
The sculptor chose to illustrate Dante's L'Enfer (Inferno), populated by the tortured souls of the damned.
He worked on it for at least twenty years without ever finishing it.
This monumental work of one hundred and eighty six figures was, for Rodin, an opportunity to create a ‘reservoir' from which he would draw for future compositions.

Michelangelo Buonarroti | Celestial Love | Sonnet 105


No mortal thing enthralled these longing eyes
When perfect peace in thy fair face I found;
But far within, where all is holy ground,
My soul felt Love, her comrade of the skies:

Non vider gli occhi miei cosa mortale
allor che ne’ bei vostri intera pace
trovai, ma dentro, ov’ogni mal dispiace,
chi d’amor l’alma a sé simil m’assale;
