Giorgio Dante (1982) - Fanciullezza eterna

GD (born in 1982) is an Italian figurative painter who lives and works in Rome, Italy.

After earning his degree in 2006 from the Academy of Fine Arts of Rome, Dante distinguished himself as an artist of the contemporary revival of classical painting.

His work emphasizes, through the body and myth, immutable symbols over time, representing the emotions of the human soul as timeless values, and therefore contemporary in every era. Giorgio Dante's painting draws its roots from the traditional methods of the Old Masters. The Italian art of Michelangelo Buonarroti, Leonardo da Vinci, and Raphael inspired him from childhood and influenced his choice to pursue an academic figurative technique, centered on Neoclassicism and European painting of the 19th century (William Bouguereau, Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Lord Leighton, John William Waterhouse, Paul Delaroche, Jean-Jacques Henner, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, etc.).

He has exhibited in Europe and the United States.
