In the firmament of mythology, there exists a constellation of figures whose light lies not in destructive power or martial glory, but in the subtle, yet essential, vibration of amiability and beauty. They are the Three Graces, or Charites in the immortal language of the Greeks, and their legend is not one of conflict, but of perfect harmony. They are the rhythmic pulse of existence that celebrates the gift, the joy, and the radiant manifestation of grace. Their story is, in essence, the poetry of life itself, distilled into three female forms whose embrace has been perpetuated through the centuries.

Romanticism, which flourished approximately between the late 18th century and the mid-19th century, was not just an artistic fashion; it was a cultural revolution that encompassed literature, music, and, of course, painting. It was born as a passionate reaction against the cold logic, strict order, and rationality imposed by Neoclassicism.

En el corazón de la enigmática Capilla Sansevero de Nápoles, una figura de mármol capta la luz con una fragilidad casi imposible: La Modestia (Pudicizia), también conocida como La Modestia Velada o Castidad Velada. Creada en 1752 por el escultor veneciano Antonio Corradini, esta obra no es solo un testimonio del virtuosismo barroco, sino la pieza central de un profundo y personal drama familiar envuelto en un velo de filosofía oculta.

There are universal images that form part of our collective history, and one of the most iconic is undoubtedly Leonardo da Vinci's The Vitruvian Man. This illustration, repeated and reinterpreted throughout the centuries, is much more than a simple drawing: it is a symbol of the intrinsic connection between art, science, and philosophy. Created around 1490, this work reflects not only Leonardo's insatiable curiosity but also his commitment to the search for perfection and the universal laws that govern both the human body and the universe.
