Il Martire 2016

Roberto Ferri's 2016 painting, *Il Martire*, depicts a young man lying on the ground in a state of repose. His nude body is draped with a white cloth, while a red band on his wrist and a small pool of blood nearby suggest his death. The subject's relaxed pose and the dramatic lighting lend a sense of tragedy to the scene, creating a haunting and melancholic atmosphere. Ferri's work is known for its hyperrealistic style, and this painting is a testament to his mastery of light, shadow, and form.
