Nel Sangue Nell’Anima 2013

"Nel Sangue Nell’Anima" (In Blood In the Soul) is a 2013 painting by Italian artist Roberto Ferri, known for his realistic and dramatic depictions of the human form. The work features a woman, draped in a white sheet, holding a bloodied heart while standing on the back of a kneeling man. Both subjects are chained together, hinting at a bond of love, pain, and sacrifice. Ferri's use of stark contrast and precise detail draws the viewer into the intimate and emotionally charged scene, creating a powerful and unsettling experience.
