A completely tattooed body that tells a story through the designs imprinted on the skin.
The women in Reka Nyari’s works offer their own response to pain and show how they have changed their lives, turning them into what they wanted.
Donatello’s works made a profound mark on art in the 15th century, becoming a point of reference for entire generations of artists.
His fame as a sculptor and architect spread from Tuscany to the Veneto, from the Marches to Rome and Naples, comparable only to the greats of art history such as Giotto, Raphael, Michelangelo and Bernini.
Donatello’s modern spirit pushed him to continually question himself, creating an unpredictable style that challenged the fashions and tastes of the time: a transgressive artist who, starting from Antiquity and the more distant Middle Ages, arrived at a new way of seeing and understanding the world.
There is an exhibition in Florence that traces the history and art of Donatello and at the bottom of this post you will find all the information you need to visit it. but first I will show you the most important works that you need to know.
The works of Donatello
Luigi Cima, Autoritratto
Luigi Cima was born in Villa di Villa, now the municipality of Mel (Belluno) on 5 January 1860.
After completing his technical studies in Feltre, he moved to Venice to enrol at the Academy of Fine Arts.
He mainly devoted himself to scenes of working life in the countryside and mountains of the Feltre area, to landscapes animated with figures of acute realism, to scenes of Venetian life and to portraits.

Antonio Ligabue, Fattoria con animali
THE WORKS OF ANTONIO LIGABUE TO GET TO KNOW THE MAN AND THE ARTIST
Antonio Ligabue’s works are the tool of a man who wanted to communicate his pain and suffering to the world.
Judgments about his art have often been misleading and his works have been wrongly described as naïve or the work of an artist marked by madness.
In reality, he is a unique case in the art of the second half of the 20th century, but he is able to tell each of us something thanks to that cry in the silence of nature that seems to come out of his paintings. A cry that resonates in the deafness of the people around him.
