I chose this phrase because I think it reflects one of my thoughts, in fact, in my opinion, it means that if you are completely honest with people, it can happen that you hurt them, or that you put yourself in a bad light. For this reason it is always advisable to keep at least a small part of one's thinking hidden from others, to be less vulnerable to their opinions.]]> 2020-12-03 15:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiazampieri2002/6jhefwc35jbo5gti/wish/984033714 sofiazampieri2002 https://padlet.com/sofiazampieri2002/6jhefwc35jbo5gti/wish/984211613 This painting, titled "Venus Verticordia", was made by the British artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti between 1864 and 1868. The picture represents the semi-nude goddess Venus, portrayed as a young woman with a golden halo with many butterflies and long dark red hair, surrounded by lots of roses in a dark green garden. At the bottom right you can see the left breast while the right is hidden by the apple that she holds in her left hand. In his right hand he holds an arrow, which points towards his chest, and on which rests a small yellow butterfly, close to the one above the apple.
This image reminds me of the concepts of perfection, balance, proportion and serenity; in fact here you can understand very well the intent of aestheticism, that artistic movement that considered art as an end in itself, which had to be only beautiful and represent an alternative to the world in which one lives.]]> 2020-12-03 15:45:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sofiazampieri2002/6jhefwc35jbo5gti/wish/984211613
