Les mitres permanentes 1967

"Les mitres permanentes" is a 1967 painting by the surrealist Italian artist Léonor Fini. The artwork features three women, draped in colorful fabrics, sitting in a row. Two of the women are wearing white, egg-shaped hats, reminiscent of mitres, which are traditional headwear for bishops and cardinals, giving the artwork a symbolic and religious undertone. The women's faces and expressions are ambiguous, creating an air of mystery and prompting the viewer to decipher their thoughts and emotions. The artwork's surrealist style, with its dreamlike imagery and symbolism, challenges traditional artistic conventions and invites viewers to engage with its layers of meaning.
