Unico Suono Filippo Sorcinelli Perfume Extract 30 ml x 3
“I borrow bodies and objects, I paint them to remind myself of the magic of balance that governs the entire universe.
In this magic my soul resonates with the One Sound that brings me back to God.”
- Caravaggio
Cardinal Francesco Maria Bourbon Del Monte, Caravaggio's patron, proposed him for the commission in preparation for the Holy Year of 1600. The contract was signed on July 23, 1599, with the commitment to complete the work by the following summer.
Unico Suono , a faux-marble box containing three small bags, tells a story first and foremost through sight and touch.
Three fabrics that synesthetically refer to those represented in each canvas: velvet , linen , wool with silk .
Three like the pictorial cycle. Three smells as a synthesis of Caravaggio's poetics. Light. Man's painting. The Divine.
LA LUMIÉRE, The beam of light as a moment of creation. Unexpected. It cuts and cleans, illuminating because it's dark. It smells of velvet that moves with its grace.
PEINTURE D'HOMME , The humanity of a silent gaze. Violent truth. Disorder of the flesh.
THE DIVIN , A silent dictation. A distant listening. In my anxiety, I seek the Divine.
