ANTONIO CANOVA: Ercole e Lica Data 1795-1815
ANTONIO CANOVA (Possagno, 1º novembre 1757 – Venezia, 13 ottobre 1822). Nelle sue sculture, più di ogni altro, fece rivivere la bellezza delle antiche statue greche secondo i principi del classicismo più puro, oggetti di una bellezza ideale, universale ed eterna.
Ercole e Lica
Data 1795-1815
Materiale Marmo bianco
Altezza 335 cm
Ubicazione Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna, Roma
STORIA
Ercole e Lica è un gruppo scultoreo in marmo eseguito da Antonio Canova tra il 1795 e il 1815 e conservato alla Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna di Roma.
L’opera venne commissionata da Onorato Gaetani dei principi d’Aragona, illustre ammiratore del gruppo di Adone e Venere, precedente opera dell’artista acquistata dal marchese Francesco Berio, il quale la collocò a Napoli in un tempietto appositamente costruito nel giardino del suo palazzo in via Toledo.
Fu ammirando tale calco che il nobile committente decise di commissionare a Canova, nel marzo del 1795, il marmo dell’Ercole e Lica.
Il gruppo rappresenta una vicenda tratta dai poeti antichi. Ercole, impazzito dal dolore procuratogli dalla tunica intrisa dal sangue avvelenato del centauro Nesso, scagliò in aria il giovanissimo Lica, che, ignaro, gliel’aveva consegnata su ordine di Deianira.
Interrotta e ripresa più volte, la statua venne lasciata in uno stato di abbandono in seguito alle dure vicende politiche che coinvolsero Napoli con l’arrivo dei francesi. Lo stesso principe ritirò tale commissione e dopo alterne vicende, l’opera venne acquistata dal noto banchiere romano Giovanni Torlonia nel 1800.
Il gruppo marmoreo venne finalmente completato nel 1815, anno in cui l’opera venne posta dal proprietario in un’esedra del proprio palazzo e illuminata con luce zenitale.
Al tempo della sua prima esposizione, l’Ercole e Lica riscosse un immediato successo, ma la critica successiva giudicò in modo negativo l’opera, individuando schemi di un’esecuzione accademica, priva di una vera partecipazione emotiva.
DESCRIZIONE E STILE
Il gruppo scultoreo segue un’assoluta accuratezza geometrica. L’eroe appare in un momento di massima tensione muscolare, colto nell’atto di sollevare un piede dello sfortunato ragazzo, il quale invano oppone resistenza, aggrappandosi all’altare alle spalle dell’eroe e alla pelle di leone, abbandonata ai suoi piedi.
Lica appare sollevato con forza da terra e sospeso in aria un attimo prima di essere scagliato nei flutti del mare.
Il gruppo, con la torsione ad arco dei 2 corpi nudi, sprigiona una grande intensità energica, che ha apice nell’urlo disperato del fanciullo e nei tratti adirati di Ercole, incorniciato in una folta barba di ricci; l’eroe appare completamente nudo, se non per il sottilissimo velo che Canova utilizzò per ricoprire la massa dei muscoli.

Napalm Incendiary Bombs Dropped for First Time by US Air Force (1944)
Napalm is an organic compound used to thicken gasoline for use as an incendiary in flamethrowers and firebombs. The thickened mixture burns more slowly and can be propelled more accurately and farther than gasoline. When it comes in contact with surfaces, including the human body, it sticks and continues to burn. It was developed and first used by the US in World War II. Its use in the Vietnam War became highly controversial. “Napalm” is a combination of what two words?: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tfd.mobile.TfdSearch

ANTONIO CANOVA (Possagno, 1º novembre 1757 – Venezia, 13 ottobre 1822): Paolina Borghese Data 1805-1808
ANTONIO CANOVA (Possagno, 1º novembre 1757 – Venezia, 13 ottobre 1822). Nelle sue sculture, più di ogni altro, fece rivivere la bellezza delle antiche statue greche secondo i principi del classicismo più puro, oggetti di una bellezza ideale, universale ed eterna.
Paolina Borghese
Data 1805-1808
Materiale marmo bianco
Altezza 92 (160 con la base) x 200[1] cm
Ubicazione Galleria Borghese, Roma
STORIA
Paolina Bonaparte nella incarnazione della Venere vincitrice è una scultura neo-classica di nudo femminile a grandezza naturale di Antonio Canova.
In attinenza con l’antica tradizione artistica romana di rappresentare individui mortali in atteggiamenti divini e di esaltare la bellezza femminile morbidamente distesa sul triclinio, la scultura fu commissionata dal marito di Paolina Bonaparte, Camillo Borghese, e scolpita a Roma dal 1805 al 1808, durante il suo matrimonio con l’esponente della famiglia dei Borghese dallo stesso marito. Fu quindi trasportata nella casa torinese di Camillo, poi a Genova, per arrivare infine nella sua attuale collocazione all’interno della Galleria Borghese di Roma intorno al 1838.
I nudi artistici non erano molto comuni tanto che i soggetti di alto rango presentavano di solito dei drappeggi posizionati in modo strategico, per quanto Canova abbia prodotto un’altra scultura di nudo artistico riguardante un altro rappresentante della famiglia Bonaparte, vale a dire il Napoleone Bonaparte come Marte pacificatore del 1806.
Si è molto discusso se Paolina Bonaparte abbia effettivamente posato nuda in quanto solo la testa è una rappresentazione realistica, mentre il busto nudo è più attinente ai canoni di bellezza neoclassica. Quando le fu chiesto se avesse davvero posato in abiti così succinti davanti allo scultore, Paolina, a quanto si dice, rispose che c’era una stufa nello studio che la teneva calda, anche se questa affermazione può suscitare molti dubbi o essere interpretata come una battuta per provocare scandalo.
Paolina tiene in mano una mela che evoca la vittoria di Afrodite nel Giudizio di Paride: quest’ultimo doveva scegliere a chi tra le dee Era, Atena ed Afrodite assegnare un pomo d’oro con sopra inciso “Alla più bella” e Paride scelse la dea dell’amore. A tale riguardo, la stanza nella quale la scultura è in mostra all’interno della Galleria Borghese presenta sotto il soffitto una raffigurazione del giudizio di Paride, ad opera di Domenico de Angelis del 1779, che si ispira ad un famoso rilievo della facciata di Villa Medici.
La base di legno, drappeggiata come un catafalco, contiene un meccanismo che consente alla scultura di essere ruotata, caratteristica comune ad altri lavori di Canova. I visitatori, un tempo, potevano così ammirarla da ogni angolazione senza doverle girare intorno; oggi il meccanismo viene azionato solo in particolari occasioni di rappresentanza.
Quando l’opera fu realizzata, i visitatori godevano dell’ulteriore beneficio di poterla ammirare al lume di candela (non c’era ancora l’energia elettrica): lo splendore della scultura era dovuta non solo alla raffinatezza del marmo ma anche alla patinatura fatta con la cera, recentemente restaurata.
DESCRIZIONE E STILE
Canova ha caratterizzato in modo diverso le superfici delle diverse parti dell’opera: la consistenza dei cuscini e del materasso che si piega sotto il peso del corpo, i drappeggi del tessuto che ne avvolgono la figura, la delicatezza dell’epidermide, le ciocche dei capelli.
Per rendere più vero l’aspetto dell’epidermide vellutata, lo scultore ha steso uno strato di cera rosata sulle parti nude della statua.
All’interno del letto di legno, su cui è appoggiata la statua, vi è un meccanismo che permetteva di ruotare intorno a un asse verticale. La mela che tiene nella mano sinistra è segno di perfezione, dono di Paride alla più bella delle dee.

My way back home…, by GeorgeB
My way back home…, by GeorgeB
I have a dream, from time ti time,
It’s the ruins of Rome,
In Bucharest, after the big earthquake of 1977,
And I roam among the ruins, and it’s a maze,
from which I cannot escape…
I cannot find my way home…
And then I wake up, only to dream abour all that…
Again and again…
