La Malinconia Del Tempo 2018

Roberto Ferri painted "La Malinconia Del Tempo" using oil. This allegorical scene presents us with an old, winged figure, slumped and melancholic. He represents time, burdened by the weight of ages. Ferri's artistic roots are in Italy, a country with a robust art market. The revival of classical techniques and themes can be seen as a response to the dominance of conceptual and abstract art, a reclaiming of cultural heritage. The figure's dejected pose and shadowed face evoke a sense of historical awareness of past glories and present disappointments. The wings, symbols of time's swift passage, appear heavy, their bearer weary. To fully appreciate this work, we can delve into the history of allegorical painting. Art history libraries and archives are filled with resources. Through research and critical discourse we reveal how Ferri both participates in and reshapes artistic traditions. Ultimately, the meaning of "La Malinconia Del Tempo" lies in its ability to connect with us.
