Dante G. Rossetti, Beata Beatrix, 1864-70

In many of his works inspired by Dante Rossetti. This is also the subject of Dante's "Beata Beatrix" in which blend suggestions that flow from the Florentine poet with his own personal experiences. The image of Beatrice, the woman loved by Dante and untimely death, is confused here with the figure of Elizabeth Siddal, his wife, she too died young. The woman, in fact, receives in the hands of a red bird, a symbol of death, a white poppy. Elizabeth Siddal he died from an overdose of laudanum, a drug that is extracted from poppies too. In the background there are two figures: I am back Beatrice, whose head is circondata da un’aureola, che riceve Dante nel paradiso. Sullo sfondo si apre uno squarcio luminoso che fa intravedere il Ponte Vecchio a Firenze. L’atmosfera di silenzio estatico, insieme ai pensieri funerei impliciti nell’immagine, ci permettono di collocare questa immagine nel gusto decadentista del tempo, di cui i Preraffaelliti rappresentano in qualche modo una notevole anticipazione.
Dante e Virgilio nell'Inferno, (dipinto di William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1850) E'Dante a proporre a Virgilio di dire qualcosa di interessante nell'attesa e il maestro, che già ci stava pensando, gli inizia a parla re degli ultimi tre cerchi, affinché quando essi scendono a Dante sarà sufficiente un'occhiata per capire pena e dannati, senza doversi dilungare in spiegazioni. In seguito il discorso si allargherà a tutto l'Inferno, compresi i cerchi già visitati. «Figliuol mio, dentro da cotesti sassi», cominciò poi a dir, «son tre cerchietti di grado in grado, come que' che lassi. Tutti son pien di spirti maladetti; ma perché poi ti basti pur la vista, intendi come e perché son costretti.”



William Bouguereau (1825-1905) La Carità

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and I have all faith so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my substances and give my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind, not envious, does not boast, it is not inflated, not rude, does not seek its own interests, not angry, does not take account of the injury received, does not enjoy the ' injustice, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, endures all things. Love will never end. The prophecies will disappear and the gift of tongues will cease, and science will vanish. Our knowledge is imperfect and we prophesy. But when what is perfect comes, the partial will pass away. As a child, I spoke as a child, I thought as a child, I reasoned like a child. I became a man, what a child I was abandoned. Now we see through a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and charity, but the greatest of these is charity "(Paul of Tarsus, First Epistle to the Corinthians)

Lawrence Alma-Tadema: Antony and Cleopatra (1883)

And 'This is the tragedy of passion. Whenever Shakespeare is the strongest human passions, lays bare the soul of each one of us, to remind us in no uncertain terms as the rushing waters of the passions can easily turn off the light of the intellect, and how they manage to create a total chaos which inevitably leads to tragedy. From another point of view, the intoxicating wine is a passion that blinds the view of a fire, a raging thirst that even the ocean waters can quench. The two protagonists in this drama follows the fate of Romeo and Juliet, but while there is no love and passion, here there is only passion, while there everything takes place within the precincts of the heart, and senses power the Sun of love, everything here is within the fence of the senses and the dim light of the moon. Antony and Cleopatra are two characters without depth, whose story barely touches our compassion, unlike what happened with us with Romeo and Juliet

Jean-Antoine Watteau, The pleasures of love In the paintings of Watteau meeting and loving conversation always takes place in open spaces. The picturesque nature seen with the eyes, and the presence of the ruins, like the great statue on the right, giving the ideal setting for these amorous scenes. In fact in the paintings of Watteau eroticism never appears, rather it is masked by a vein of melancholy lyricism that makes these pictures especially intense in terms of metaphor. The more that these things are just whispered, leaving plenty of room for the possibility of multiple interpretations.

Come ti amo?
How I love thee?
How I love thee?
Let me count the ways.
I love you to the very depth of

and breadth and height my soul can reach, when
beyond the body

touch the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the sphere of daily needs,

in daylight and by candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive

for Justice;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise
;
I love thee with the passion
griefs, and with my childhood faith put in;
I love you with love

that seemed to lose with my lost saints, I love thee with the breath
,
smiles, tears of all my life!
and, God willing, even
love thee better after death.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning
