Myth, metamorphosis, and the bond with the ancestral emerge in the Dancers by Franz von
Stuck (Aleandri Arte Moderna) — hypnotic visions of a Dionysian dance — as well as in Marino
Marini’s Horse and Rider (Antiques Par Force), an archetype that transcends the centuries
and brushes against abstraction. From the same gallery, Antonio Gherardi’s Baroque Juno
and Argus recalls the transformation of the shepherd into a peacock, while Domicella
Bożekowska’s wolves (Małgorzata Ciacek Gallery) embody the primal and untamed force of

nature. In this continuum, with an extraordinary and seamless leap through time, the fifteenth-
century Madonna and Child (Flavio Pozzallo) also finds its place — a wooden sculpture that

restores the power of the fragment and of raw material.
