AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I am Fernando Ribaudo, a 63-year-old Roman artist. I worked as a set designer for 42 years, and today I devote myself to my lifelong passion: painting. My grandfather frescoed churches in Sicily, and my father created paintings for America.
A dreamer and a scholar. My painting is born where Caravaggio meets symbolism.
I study the ancient light of the masters of the seventeenth century to tell stories of dreams, fears, and modern allegories. I work in oil on linen canvas, using glazes and chiaroscuro.
Every painting of mine is a theater. The protagonists are nudes, skulls, felines, and candles. I do not paint reality. I paint its secret.
The artist Fernando Ribaudo has been selected as a finalist for the 2026 Amedeo Modigliani International Prize, organized by the Amedeo Modigliani Foundation.
TITLE
Rembrandt and the Three Golden Dreamers
A MAGICAL STORY OF LOVE, WEALTH, AND DESIRES
In my dream, I painted two sisters and their dearest friend. All three are daughters of Rembrandt’s dream.
On the left, with the lilac violin, is Cornelia, the eldest daughter.
Her desire is the love that makes her vibrate. She plays, and her dress becomes sound. The tattoo on her shoulder is a seashell: her secret is that she wants a love as vast as the sea.
In the center, with the flute, is Titia, the second daughter.
Her desire is wealth that is not money. Golden cards fall onto her lap: they do not predict the future; they promise fortunes.
Her crystal ball is full of gold coins because she dreams of a home filled with light for all three of them.
On the right, with the golden oboe, is Hendrickje,
Rembrandt’s lover. She is not a daughter; she is desire itself. She wears pure gold, and the dragon tattooed on her arm is not a sin, but power. She wants the freedom to love whomever she chooses.
Rembrandt is in the background, painting them. He no longer paints nudes; he has turned his easel toward them and paints them, with the city outside bathed in golden light.
He listens to them play every day and has realized that his greatest desire has come true: his home is rich with music.
The three animals at their feet are not beasts. They are the guardians of their dreams. The lynx watches over the dreams, the jaguar protects them, and the panther makes them come true.
ICONOGRAPHY - DESIRE ONLY
Violin + lilac = desire for love
Flute + tarot cards on the lap = desire for magical wealth and good fortune
Oboe + gold = desire for the freedom to love
Secret tattoos = each tattoo is a desire written on the skin: seashell = immense love, dragon = power, spirals = dreams that never end
Golden clock + golden chain + coins = wealth that will never slip away, golden time
Open book + pen + sphere with an eye = they write down their dreams, and the eye watches them come true
Silver vase with putti + butterflies = love that takes flight
