Original painting made by Manara and published for the first time in France in the volume "La modèle" published by Albin Michel in 2001, later in Italy in "Il pittorico e la modella" by Mondadori in 2002 and recently used as the cover of the volume "Milo Manara Collection: I Borgia" (vol. 2) by the publisher RCS in 2024. One of the most original and heartfelt works by the Veronese master, conceived on the relationship between the painter (in the history of art) and the figure of the "model". << Among the most beautiful books designed by Milo Manara, the one that reveals his love and great knowledge of the history of art and shows us art as a long story marked by this intimate and secret bond between the painter and his model. Manara shows us the desire, the joyful and vital aspect of painting, the natural impulse and the disturbing aspect in the nude in the personal dreams of the artist who interprets and marks, loving and compromising his own hand in the delineation of the figure. From Praxiteles to Pompeian art up to the twentieth century, a long series of faces and forms. >> (Vincenzo Mollica) Slight crease at upper right corner. Signed.
