Giulio Aristide Sartorio (Rome, 11 February 1860 - Rome, 3 October 1932) was an Italian painter, sculptor, writer and film director. A pupil of his father Raffaele and his grandfather Girolamo, both sculptors and painters of Novara origin, he studied self-taught, made copies of frescoes, mosaics, paintings and statues of the Roman basilicas and museums and at the beginning he painted for Italian and foreign artists who signed the his paintings with their name. In this activity (quite fortunate, given that at 19 he already has a studio in via Borgognona) he refers to commercial, genre or eighteenth-century painting in the style of Mariano Fortuny.
For the central hall of the 1907 International Exposition he created a large decorative cycle to illustrate, on the basis of mythology, the "poem of human life". It consists of fourteen scenes, painted on 240 square meters in just nine months, without architectural elements and characterized by monochrome figures in movement. The complex iconography created by the artist is divided into four main scenes - Light, Darkness, Love, Death - interspersed with ten vertical panels, outlining an intensely dramatic vision of existence. Between the two extremes lie the allegories of Darkness and the divergence between the figures of Eros and Himeros, good and bad love. The works also remained in place for the next edition (1909).
