Giletta by Nerbona and Beltramo

The drawing represents Giletta di Nerbona who is kissed by her husband, posing as her young lover.
The Boccaccesco theme lends itself well to the graphics of Attardi, who usually prefers erotic subjects.
In this work he loads the physicality with exaggerated notations to the limit of the grotesque, of expressionist origin, Attardi underlines the concretization of the psychological tension in human relationships according to a "realist" direction, to which he belongs since the first post-war period
