UnknownThe Academy of Plato, tapestry1600s-1700s
1600s-1700s
About the Item
Small silk tapestry, with some applied inserts in painted canvas, corresponding to the faces and hands of the characters. The scene depicts Plato's Academy, with the philosopher sitting on the ground, his back against a tree, dressed in a cassock and a mantle that drapes him, with his right hand holding a tablet or parchment. He is intent on carrying out a philosophy lesson, with the young students who surround him and with one of whom he is speaking in particular. Behind a rural landscape inhabited by men who are doing agricultural work: some intent in sowing, some in harvesting and some, again, in cutting down a tree with an ax. In the background, to the right of the main group, a turreted construction can be seen, while to the left an ancient herm. Inserted in a coeval frame, molded in several orders with ebonized parts alternating with others veneered in tortoiseshell.

Paesaggio con Figure, 1700s
By Antonio Francesco Peruzzini 1
Located in Milan, IT
Olio su tela.
La grande composizione propone un paesaggio che vede centrale un grande albero. a sormontare con le sue rade frasche la campagna sottostante, traversata da un corso d'acqua e animata da diverse figure di popolani intenti ad attività o a riposo; in alto a destra si erge una fortezza, che domina la vallata.
Già attribuito al marchigiano Peruzzini, il dipinto si può ricondurre senz'altro al suo ambito, per i tratti pittorici veloci e poco aggregati.
Antonio Francesco si specializzò nella pittura di paesaggio, subendo l'influenza di Salvator Rosa e di paesaggisti come Pietro Montanini...

As a golden legend of Hollywood, Marilyn Monroe held particular fascination for Andy Warhol. Her suicide on August 5, 1962 struck a personal chord and precipitated a commemorative series that isolated her beautiful and henceforth elusive visage against variously colored backdrops. In the increasingly secular 1960s, Warhol was quick to recognize that movie stars had replaced the religious figures of his childhood, as the idols which the population at large chose to worship.
Andy Wahrol worked with tapestry in his life as works were presented by Charles Slatkin...
