The artwork titled “The Son of the Morning” was created by Roberto Ferri in 2013 in Italy. It belongs to the Neo-baroque and Kitsch art movements, and the nude painting (nu) measures 50 x 90 cm.
The composition of “The Son of the Morning” depicts a figure of a fallen angel, characterized by a muscular and nude male form with dark, expansive wings that define the dramatic and somber tone of the scene. The figure is sprawled upon a white drapery, starkly contrasting with the deep shadows and subdued background, enhancing the melancholic and serene atmosphere. The use of light and shadow, alongside the detailed rendering of the human form, reflects Ferri’s mastery in echoing Baroque techniques and infusing them with a contemporary aesthetic. The artwork invokes both classical beauty and an evocative sense of tragic grace.
