Il famoso Giorgio de Chirico ha dipinto un autoritratto in cui si mostra vicino al busto di Euripide (un drammaturgo greco vissuto fra il 485 e 407 a.C.)
La scritta in latino nel quadro dice: “non c’è nessuna gloria senza tragedia”.
De Chirico nel dipinto non sembra essere molto felice.
Se tu adesso ti facessi un autoritratto come sarebbe? Sei felice?
The famous Giorgio de Chirico painted a self-portrait in which he is shown next to the bust of Euripides (a Greek tragedian who lived between 485 and 407 BC.)
The Latin inscription in the painting says: “There is no glory without tragedy.”
De Chirico in the painting does not seem to be very happy.
If you now created your self-portrait, how would it be? Are you happy?
