EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of compassion and generosity in Antonio Canova's masterpiece, "Feeding the Hungry". Created in 1795, this plaster sculpture depicts a powerful scene of humanity coming together to alleviate hunger. In this neoclassical artwork, we witness a woman tenderly offering food to a hungry child while a man looks on with empathy. The artist skillfully portrays their expressions, conveying both the urgency and importance of providing sustenance to those in need. Canova's mastery is evident in the intricate details of the sculpture, from the delicate folds of clothing to the lifelike textures rendered in plaster. This relief artwork serves as a poignant reminder that charity and kindness have always been integral parts of society. The composition evokes emotions ranging from gratitude for our own blessings to an urge for action against hunger worldwide. It reminds us that it is our collective responsibility to ensure that no one goes without nourishment. Displayed by Fondazione Cariplo in Milan, Lombardy, Italy, this photograph beautifully captures every nuance and subtlety present within Canova's original work. Through Ghigo Roli's lens, we are transported back to 18th-century Europe where art served not only as aesthetic pleasure but also as social commentary. "Feeding the Hungry" stands as an enduring testament to human compassion and serves as an inspiration for all who view it – urging us towards acts of kindness and reminding us that even small gestures can make a significant impact on
