Cats

Armando Spadini

Palazzo Te

Palazzo Te
Mantova, Italy

The cat is perhaps the pet that can better enter into contact with the emotions and feelings of men. Here the painter, two years before his death, depicts a feline mother and child scene with the same grace used in many of his paintings portraying mothers and children. The three kittens crowd around the mother cat, who remains apparently impassive in her silent pride. They have different colours and different poses, the three kittens are a masterpiece of liveliness and triumphant life.
