The family photo of the Prime Minister published 'Who' seen by art critic Philippe Daverio: "The prime minister sits in the center as Christ in 'Wedding at Cana' by Veronese. The trip is a true piece trash: simplify what is courtly "
A rich Christmas table, the Prime Minister in the center, to his right, Don Livio, the cousin priest. All around the festive family , photographed from above. They make the rounds of newspapers and websites photos of Christmas at Berlusconi, published in the weekly family 'Chi'.
A 'evocative image, iconography strong impact, which recalls the paintings of scenic system of the '500 Venetian or portraiture of 700. We asked to comment on Philippe Daverio, art critic, former Councillor for Culture of the Municipality of Milan in Formentini junta from 1993 to 1997 and conductor of the transmission of art Rai5 Mat.
"This shot is a great anthropological document - Davenport says - is the film that Bunuel has never turned on the charm 'indiscreet' of the bourgeoisie."
If the photo had to pull over to a painting which would it be?
No doubt the "Wedding at Cana" by Paolo Veronese ( see the picture). The prime minister is seated in the center just like Jesus, but embodies all the figure of Christ, even that of the pater omnipotens, with his hands up. Behind the table, the pictures depict the columns exactly recall the background of sixteenth-century painting. This book is the result of a true genius of communication.
The table set is not the food. Why?
Why not capture a real moment, but this is pure fiction, is a stage. We are the servants, as part of the Veronese, but there are dogs that can not stand the middle class. And the Prime Minister, with the fur collar that seems, is a true Renaissance prince. This shot is a masterpiece of trash.
Paolo Veronese becomes trash?
Exactly: the hallmark of the trash is precisely to reach the extreme simplification of a courtly model. Are translated, in a parody, even the most high. In this picture there are the wedding at Cana turned into vaudeville. All of our era will go down in history as the era of trash.
Should search for an image just as significant for the opposition? I would say
Massimo D'Alema, disguised as a manager in Saint Moritz. Again, everything becomes a caricature, there is nothing true.
