EDITORS COMMENTS
The Death of Pietro Aretino, captured in this 1854 oil on canvas print by Anselm Feuerbach, is a haunting and powerful depiction of the renowned Italian poet's final moments. Measuring an impressive 267.5 x 176.5 cm, this artwork demands attention with its striking composition and meticulous details. Feuerbach's masterful brushwork brings to life the somber atmosphere surrounding Aretino's deathbed. The artist skillfully portrays the frailty of the poet's body as he lies motionless, his face etched with pain and resignation. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, intensifying the emotional impact. Inscribed in elegant script at the lower left corner is Feuerbach's signature along with the date: "Anselm Feuerbach. 1854". This serves as a testament to both his artistic prowess and commitment to capturing historical events with authenticity. Born in Speyer in 1829 and passing away in Venice in 1880, Feuerbach was known for his ability to infuse his works with profound emotion while maintaining technical brilliance. In this particular piece, he pays homage to Pietro Aretino—a man who had made significant contributions to literature during Italy's Renaissance period. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate Feuerbach’s talent firsthand while commemorating an important figure from history. It serves as a reminder that art has the power not only to immortalize individuals
