Dosso Dossi Three Ages of Man ca. 1515 Metropolitan Museum of Art |
The Three Ages of Man by Dosso Dossi (immediately above) enjoyed its 500th birthday last year, admired by multitudes located far from the region (in space) and even farther from the culture (in time) where it was conceived. All the paintings assembled here drifted away from Italy long ago and very far away from the Renaissance. They now passively serve foreign agendas which their creators would not have been able to recognize or comprehend.
