The fifth encounter will focus on late 19th century Florence Composer Antonio Scontrino and painter Silvestro Lega both lived and worked in Florence long after its heyday as a center of artistic revival. Each avoided the sentimentality of the Late Romantic era, developing a sober, elegiac art. Art: Silvestro Lega (1826, Modigliana – 1895, Florence) Music: Antonio Scontrino (1850, Trapani – 1922, Florence) Silvestro Lega: Giuseppe Mazzini dying, 1873 Music+Art – our exploration of Italianate musical qualities illuminated by visual counterparts – is back! In this series we look at the qualities of and relationships among madrigals and museums, palaces and passacaglie, drawings and dramas. Highlights this semester: Elisabetta Sirani, Bolognese painter, and the music from her funeral; Veronica Klavzar, harpist/composer, and architect Renzo Piano in the Dolomites; Verdi and his sometime staging consultant, painter Francesco Hayez.
