Mother with Child

Oil on canvas. Signed lower right. On the back there is a cartouche of authentication from "Meeting Art Roma" with the data of the work, and stamp of provenance from the "Centro Artistico Mercurio, Milan". Giuseppe Migneco, originally from Messina but who moved to Milan when he was young, was one of the major representatives, together with Aligi Sassu, Renato Birolli, Bruno Cassinari, Renato Guttuso, of the Corrente group open to the European artistic avant-gardes. In favor of a painting of social commitment, he investigates reality with a critical, objective, historical eye. His characters with hard, square faces, marked by hard work and rendered with bright and strong tones, recall his Sicily with violent and clear features, but also the social realism of the Mexican muralists. In this work appear his characteristic figures (which could belong to both Sicily and Mexico!) engaged in a very prosaic and realistic activity of popular daily life, that is, a mother who combs and cleans her son's head, probably infested with parasites. The work is presented in a frame.

Oil on canvas. An undeciphered name appears at the top left.

Oil on canvas. Northern European school of the 18th century. Near a small group of buildings, along the dirt road, a scene of popular life takes place, animated by various figures: in the foreground on the right, two hunters offer their prey and some fruit to a pregnant woman, who is traveling on horseback accompanied by her companion; in the background, a couple of women sit on the ground resting with their children, one of the two is breastfeeding; and again groups of people chatting, while others are climbing on the haystacks covered under the barn. The figures stand out for the bright colors of their clothes against the almost monochromatic background of earth tones, with the buildings blending into the flat and barren landscape. The painting, still on the first canvas, shows signs of a small tear on the back. It is presented in a period frame.

Il volume indaga l'idea cosmopolitica che si affaccia con il messianismo ebraico e la riflessione ellenica, ricostruendo i luoghi e i modi del formarsi di una tradizione teorica, che attraversa la storia del pensiero e giunge fino a noi. Di quell'idea antica coglie le stratificazioni di senso, la persistente ambiguità, l'evoluzione moderna e contemporanea. Si confronta con la convergenza di etica stoica e principi universalistici di eguaglianza e fraternità enunciati dal Cristianesimo. Privilegiando il terreno etico-filosofico esplora lo sviluppo dell'idea cosmopolitica attraverso le scoperte geografiche, l'avanzamento del sapere scientifico, antropologico, etnologico, la fioritura di utopie pacifiste e di una filosofia della storia progressuale; ne mostra a un tempo la commistione profonda con lo spirito espansionistico, con la volontà di appropriazione, con l'architettura delle giustificazioni intellettuali, ben sintetizzata dal concetto di "missione civilizzatrice".

Grazie all'unione tra vichinghi, «uomini del Nord», venuti in Francia, e la popolazione indigena nacque il popolo normanno. Da pirati in giro per il mondo, giunti persino in America, i Normanni attraverso il processo di assimilazione alla civiltà romano-cristiana divennero feudatari e cavalieri; altri «uomini del Nord» emigrati invece nell'Est, i «rus'» come furono chiamati da slavi e bizantini, subirono il fascino della cultura bizantina e gettarono le fondamenta per la nascita della futura Russia.
