🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE ISLAND LIFE- https://image.nostr.build/2cc085ec953017662fa82f22238dcfe338ea5864c2c392b5ebc0fc51ad8b1d87.jpg Paolo and Virgínia, by Italian artist Alessandro Putinati, completed in 1844. It depicts the characters from the eponymous novel written by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre in 1787. The work tells the story of two children living on the island of Mauritius, members of different families but raised as brother and sister. Over time, their bond develops into a passionate love, causing concern for Virginia's mother, who sends her away to France. Putinati’s sculpture captures the moment when Paulo, overwhelmed with emotion, declares his love for the young woman. Years later, Virginia decides to return to the island, but the ship carrying her sinks against the rocks, right before Paulo’s disbelieving eyes. Consumed by grief, the young man dies of sorrow. The sculpture is currently in a private collection. Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️ #Bitcoin #Satoshis #Freedom #Apocalypse #Music #Movies #Philosophy #Literature
