1503 - A Visionary Renaissance

Don’t try to search what happened in 1503. Whatever it happened (and where), it’s a cultural chance. «1503» is a symbolic date and a non-geographic timeless space, where Christian Tagliavini’s visionary Renaissance takes place.

 

In this visionary Renaissance nine still characters are portrayed in solemn, die-cut costumes to die for. All of them have a name or a title - which is perfect for a private renaissance art gallery.

 

But you’ll also find something contemporary, unpredicted and capturing in their look and attitude: some details are quietly exaggerated while their glances are seducing each other despite you, the observer.
