To whose immortal eyes The sufferings of mortality, Seen in their sad reality, were nota s things that gods despise; What was thy pity’s recompense? A silent suffering, and intense; The rock, the vulture, and the chain, All that proud can feel of pain, The agony they do not show, The suffocating sense of woe, Which speaks but in its loneliness, And then is jealous lest the sky Should have a listener, nor will sigh Until its voice is echoless.

Hand-signed in China ink on the lower left corner: Alberto Martini; hand-signed on the lower right: Martini A XIII. Mint conditions. Beautiful black China ink on paper representing several ambiguous images between a metaphysical and esoteric style. Inscriptions in capital letters are present in the center and at the top.

In 1895, Martini started his graphic activity as illustrator of literary works, a supporting activity for his artistic production. The youthful satirical inspiration was replaced by the most macabre and morbid vein, present in the chine. He was a friend of eccentric persons, such as Luisa Amman Casati, a well-known animator of artistic life who became his precious patron of several portraits and who welcomed him to her various residences: the Venetian palace, the castle of Soncino and, between 1928 and 1930, the French residence of Vesinet. Thanks to the Marchesa Casati...
