Antique Painting with Allegorical Subject Oil on Canvas XIX Century

Oil painting on canvas. The large painting recalls the pictorial methods of the 17th century but is from a later period, and was created on a canvas applied to an older one. It depicts the allegory of the arts, presented in the guise of a young and rich girl who, in her studio, is intent on painting, while on either side of her two other young women are leafing through musical scores and, on the right, a boy with a chisel and hammer in hand, he dedicates himself to sculpture. The scene is rich in details, especially in the description of the clothes and jewels of the woman in the centre, as well as in that of the fabrics that furnish the room, the rich brocades that cover the seat, the table, the curtains. In the painting there is a clear patch at the bottom right. The painting is presented in an antique gilded frame.

LIFICL0236800
L'anima degli animali

Pietro Li Causi, Roberto Pomelli
Giulio Einaudi Editore

È lecito maltrattare gli animali? E mangiarli? Molto del dibattito odierno sulla natura e sui diritti degli animali ha avuto prodromi antichi, anche se con categorie diverse dalle nostre. Pietro Li Causi e Roberto Pomelli ci propongono una selezione di testi chiave sul tema, ritradotti per l'occasione e accompagnati da un commento storico-filologico, aprendo suggestive connessioni con la modernità. Il volume raccoglie l'ottavo e il nono libro della "Historia animalium" di Aristotele, i frammenti degli stoici sugli animali, i tre trattati di Plutarco sul vegetarianismo e sulla "questione animale" (De esu carnium, Bruta animalia ratione uti e De sollertia animalium) e infine il "De abstinentia" di Porfirio. Il volume si apre con Aristotele perché sono stati proprio gli studi di questo pensatore e dei suoi allievi a inaugurare una forma di discorso autonomo sugli "zoa". Un discorso non più occasionale e sporadico che, a partire dalle osservazioni sulle differenze fra gli uomini e gli altri animali, risulta seminale e fondativo per gli sviluppi ulteriori del pensiero greco. Dopo Aristotele, uno snodo fondamentale è costituito dagli stoici, paladini del depotenziamento delle funzioni "mentali" degli animali e della deresponsabilizzazione etica degli umani nei loro confronti. Una risposta ferma e decisa alle posizioni stoiche viene dal versante del medio e neoplatonismo, con Plutarco e soprattutto con Porfirio.

Massime e sentenze morali

François de La Rochefoucauld
Giulio Einaudi Editore

C'è una sola verità in questo libro", diceva Voltaire. E aveva ragione. Scaturite da un lavoro collettivo e da un gioco di salotto, le "Massime" costituiscono una specie di sistema in miniatura, dominato da un'idea-forza, e una sola: l'interesse personale regna dovunque negli animi e assume atteggiamenti virtuosi, mentre le virtú non sono altro che le maschere dei nostri desideri. "Le nostre virtú non sono il piú delle volte che vizi travestiti" o "Le virtú si perdono nell'interesse, come i fiumi si perdono nel mare". Il procedimento costante è quello di dissolvere ogni virtú nelle passioni ad essa contigue. Il pessimismo di La Rochefoucauld si traduce in letteratura con una formula che egli costituisce e declina in tutti i modi possibili: l'amor proprio. L'edizione di Carlo Carena presenta oltre al testo francese a fronte, le varianti del manoscritto e delle principali edizioni che uscirono vivente l'autore: una vera e propria edizione critica.
