from the history of medieval Italy: Francesca da Rimini and Gianciotto expectations of female decorum.
Malatesta were married in around 1275 in a political union designed to
end hostilities between their two families. During an absence from the Rodin’s sculpture, meanwhile, eliminates the constraints of time and

Brussels, a contemporary critic declared ‘Can anyone tell me what
Francesca, be she da Rimini has to do with this?’ (Solvay [27 Sept 1887]
quoted in A. Le Normand-Romain, Le Baiser, The Kiss, Paris, 1995, p. 9).
Indeed, it was due to the suggestions of critics after this exhibition and
another in 1887 that Rodin was persuaded to use the generic title of Le
Baiser for the work.

(fig. 2) Auguste Rodin in his studio at 117 Boulevard de Vaugirard leaning on Le Baiser, circa 1888-1889
In 1903 Rainer Maria Rilke noted that, ‘the spell of the great group of
the girl and man named The Kiss lies in understanding distribution of
life. In this group waves flow through the bodies, a shuddering ripple,
a thrill of strength and a presaging beauty. This is the reason why one
beholds everywhere on these bodies the ecstasy of this kiss. It is like a
sun which rises and floods all with light.’ (R.M. Rilke, Rodin, London,
1946, p. 25).
After the great success of the large marble version of Le Baiser at the
1889 Salon de la Société nationale de Beaux-Arts, Paris, there was
an early demand for bronze versions. Rodin had only begun casting
his work on a smaller scale at the request of friends and collectors a
few years earlier. He decided to create four reductions of the Le Baiser
in 1898 and on the 6th of July signed a contract with the Leblanc-
Barbedienne foundry authorising the editions. This 25cm high cast,
although fourth in size, is one of the first two reductions of the model
and is taken from the 1898 version. Two further reductions of 40cm and
61cm were added in 1901 and 1904. The interior structure, inscriptions
and stamps correspond to the editions made by Barbedienne and the
stamps to its interior allow us to date this cast to 1905-1910, during the
lifetime of the sculptor.

Finestra sul lago is formally typical of the works from Casorati’s
later period in which he moved away from the more rigid, spatial
compositions of the previous decade towards freer construction utilising
a brighter and richer palette as a means of expression. In this painting
the psychological intensity detected in his earlier work gives way to
a more serene and lyrical rendering of the view, in accordance with
the general theme of his subject. Yet Casorati’s propensity towards an
emphasis on form rather than detail persists. Painted in the years that
followed the Second World War, and in conjunction with his conviction
that art is born from within, with Finestra sil lago Casorati projects an
internal conceptualisation of a world in peacetime, far removed from the
horrors of conflict that had pervaded the preceding years.
