EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption describes a print of a caricature by Luigi Sapelli Caramba, depicting the famous writer Leo Tolstoy. The caricature was created in response to a letter sent by Tolstoy to the Holy See, and it appeared on the cover of Pasquino, an Italian journal, on May 5th, 1901. In the caricature, Tolstoy is portrayed in a humorous and exaggerated manner. The artist captures his distinctive features and iconic beard with great detail. It is evident that Caramba aimed to satirize Tolstoy's letter and perhaps comment on his relationship with the Vatican. The photograph of this historical artwork is part of a private collection owned by Giancarlo Costa. As an Italian artist himself, Costa recognizes its significance as an example of early 20th-century Italian art. This image provides us with valuable insight into both artistic expression during that time period and the public's perception of prominent figures like Tolstoy. It serves as a reminder that even renowned individuals are not immune to criticism or parody. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder, we can appreciate how art has always been used as a means for social commentary and reflection throughout history.
