The hidden muse
Women who inspired great painters
A story by Lucia Margherita Marino
Valentina Escobar, soprano
Sara Musso, Luca Cometto – piano
Wives, daughters, mothers, sisters, cousins, lovers, models without whom the masterpieces of Botticelli, Leonardo, Titian, Caravaggio and many others would not exist (or would not be as we know them). Of many we know almost nothing, of others only some details or that stretch of existence that was intertwined with the artist. They are the forgotten subjects of great works of art and, for one evening, the sole protagonists.
