la lotta di giacobbe triptych acrylic on canvas 70 x 210 h Sant'Albano Stura, 2017 |
|
This triptych dedicated to the biblical episode of the Struggle of Jacob was planed on the occasion of a spiritual retreat, formation and artistic workshop week about contemporary sacred art at the Kunst-Station Sankt Peter in Cologne in September 2016 and realized in the next year. |
|
MANSIT SOLUS ET ECCE VIR LUCTABATUR CUM EO USQUE MANE. Jacob was left there alone. Then some man wrestled with him until the break of dawn. (The Bible, Genesis 32, 25) DIC MIHI, QUO APPELLARIS NOMINE? CUR QUAERIS NOMEN MEUM? Jacob then asked him, «Do tell me your name, please.» He answered, «Why should you want to know my name?» (The Bible, Genesis 32, 30) VIDI DEUM FACIE AD FACIEM, ET SALVA FACTA EST ANIMA MEA. «I have seen God face to face,» - he said -, «yet my life has been spared.» (The Bible, Genesis 32, 31) |
