About this artwork
Hades-Pluto He is the guardian of the IV Circle of Hell (varicious and prodigal), represented by Dante at the beginning of Canto VII of Hell.
The identification is problematic since it could be Pluto, the Greek god of wealth (son of Iasion and Demeter),
or Pluto, classical god of the Underworld and husband of Proserpina.
Dante makes him utter apparently incomprehensible words (VII, 1), which are perhaps a bizarre invocation to Satan-Lucifer;
… Virgil calls him cursed wolf, even if it is not clear if the demon actually has animal features, nor for what reasons Dante transformed him in this way (neither Pluto nor Pluto were described as wolves in the classical myth)...
The work is made, like the others in the series, on 380 g canvas mounted on a 1.6 cm thick stretcher frame.

« Everything is worthy of attention, everything is "sacred", like the breath, the silence, but also the cries of human pain. »
Antonio De Nardis is a painter and draftsman based in Italy whose works have been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions nationally. He describes the only central theme marked in his works as being the "reality of things", filtered and shaped by the truth, as well as the reality of the countless states of consciousness and sensations. In essence, De Nardis' bold compositions portray reality as it does not appear.
