EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil on canvas painting titled "Pyramus and Thisbe" artist Gregorio Pagani takes us back to ancient Babylonian times, where the tragic love story of two young lovers unfolds. The scene depicts Pyramus and Thisbe, separated by a wall that symbolizes their families' feud. Despite the obstacle, they find solace in each other's company through a small crack in the wall. The painting beautifully captures the intensity of their emotions as they exchange secret glances while Cupid hovers above them, his arrow poised to strike their hearts with love. The lush colors and intricate details bring life to every brushstroke, immersing viewers into this timeless tale of forbidden love. Pagani skillfully portrays the impending tragedy that befalls these star-crossed lovers. In Shakespearean fashion reminiscent of "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Pyramus mistakenly believes Thisbe has been killed by a lioness when he discovers her blood-stained veil near a fountain depicted in the background. Overwhelmed by grief, he decides to take his own life with a sword. This poignant moment frozen in time serves as a reminder of the power of love and its ability to transcend even death itself. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy, we are reminded not only of our own capacity for passion but also how fate can cruelly intervene in matters of the heart.
