Ulisse Sartini - Mater Divinae Misericordiae

The iconography of motherhood is closely linked to the subject of the Madonna and Child. It is probably one of the most popular iconographies in the history of both Western and Eastern art. The Madonna and Child appears since the dawn of medieval painting and remained a constant subject as long as religious themes dominated artistic production (that is, until the 19th century, when themes inspired by everyday life began to be introduced). It is quite common for contemporary artists to treat the iconography of motherhood without directly linking it to the Christian religion.

The painter Ulisse Sartini possesses exceptional technical skill in achieving a complete and technically perfect naturalistic rendering. The subjects' anatomy is depicted in minute detail, as is the volume, which, with a strong sculptural presence, allows the subjects to create their own space. In this way, the artist, both in his works on canvas and in his graphic works, achieves a perfect hyperrealism that is Ulisse Sartini's distinctive stylistic signature.

Ulisse Sartini was born in Piacenza in 1943. He is considered one of the leading exponents of the portrait genre, having executed several commissioned works for many celebrities and important figures. For example, he painted three portraits of Maria Callas (La Scala Theatre Museum in Milan, the New Megaron Music Theatre in Athens, and the Teatro La Fenice in Venice). A portrait of Luciano Pavarotti is exhibited at Covent Garden in London. A portrait of actress Audrey Hepburn is exhibited at the UNICEF headquarters.
