\u201cFinestras in bello\u201d is a unique and powerful work by the Italian artist Giancarlo Costanzo, created in 2008 using mixed media on cardboard. The artist combines collage and acrylic painting to produce a composition of strong visual and symbolic impact. <\/p>\n
In the foreground, six stylized Gothic windows stand out, rendered with a refined pixelated effect that recalls digitalization and the fragmentation of the present. These metaphorical \u201cwindows\u201d open onto a dark background, animated by a haunting war scene: stylized figures and chalky white and golden strokes evoke medieval battles, charging horses, lines of soldiers, and burning cities in the distance. The title \u2013 a linguistic play blending the Catalan word \u201cfinestres\u201d (windows) with the Latin \u201cbello\u201d (war) \u2013 emphasizes the contrast between the sacred space of the window and the horror of the conflict unfolding beyond the glass. <\/p>\n
The work becomes a visual and conceptual reflection on war as seen \u201cthrough\u201d the lens of art and history: what remains are silhouettes, ghosts, symbols \u2013 a memory that filters through time like light through the stained glass of an ancient cathedral.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
