Slasky, Concilio degli Dei, a Giclée on handmade paper, 30 x 21 cm, limited edition, signed, 2021, Italy, unframed.
Description from the seller
Memento Mori Series
This work unites an intense anatomical memento mori with a refined Rococo decoration attributed to Carlo Innocenzo Carlone.
On a real skull, set within a deep black Baroque frame, the artist paints the “Council of the Gods” and the departure of Juno, Venus and Minerva for the Judgment of Paris, transforming the bone surface into a luminous celestial theater populated by deities, cherubs, and blue skies.
The mythological figures adapt to the contours of the skull, creating a strong symbolic contrast: on one side the beauty and eternity of painting, on the other the inevitable reality of death represented by the skull.
The work perfectly embodies the eighteenth-century taste for elegant macabre, blending artistic splendor with meditation on the transience of life and human glory.
