Notturno 2012

"Notturno" (2012) by Roberto Ferri is a striking oil painting depicting a nude male figure in a dramatic, almost theatrical pose. The figure's body is contorted, with his head tilted back, revealing a stream of liquid pouring from his mouth. The dark background emphasizes the figure's form, creating a sense of isolation and vulnerability. The artwork's title and subject matter hint at a sense of melancholy and perhaps even tragedy, leaving viewers to ponder the figure's plight and the events that led to this moment. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow further enhances the emotional impact of the piece, creating a powerful and unforgettable visual experience.
