Claudio Apparuti, a painter from Correggio (RE), studied in Rome where he attended the Art High School and then earned a degree in Art History.
His works are in private collections and he has participated in numerous exhibitions in Italy where he received awards and recognitions. Eminent art critics have spoken about his works, including Paolo Levi, Nadine GIove, and Vittorio Sgarbi.

Description of the painting: the Bacchae were the followers of the demigod Dionysus. They devoted themselves to orgiastic and transgressive rites. The great tragedian Euripides wrote the tragedy: "The Bacchae", where frenzied women come to kill the king of Thebes, Pentheus.
I have somewhat moved away from the classical iconography of frantic ecstasy. In the center, a scene of sisterhood and ritual care. The warm, golden light envelops the two figures in a silent embrace. What can you perceive in this exchange of glances? The anticipation of a ritual or the calm after the storm? A work that enriches any collection for its strong chromatic contrasts and its deep emotional charge, of striking visual impact.
The work will be sent in careful packaging, with frame. Attention: for shipments to non-EU countries, the timelines are extended for the preparation of the necessary documents, up to a month.
