The Limit of the Sublime
This canvas is part of a series of works concerning the relationship between Man and Destiny; a conflictual relationship that sees humanity weak and subject to its destiny already from its birth.
Man does not accept this condition and tries in various ways to overcome the limits of his humanity. The iconography of the work highlights the maximum thrust of man's desire to escape, which is identified in the strength of a horse, in the useless attempt to overcome the limits already established between humanity and the divine. From here, the obvious failure.
