What is The Betrothed: I Promessi Sposi about?
But Alessandro Manzoni Is Not Only A Skilful Painter Of Individual Portraits, He Excels Also In Grand Historical Representations. In That Of The Plague At Milan, And The Famine Preceding It, His Manner Becomes Bolder, His Touch More Free And Majestic, Without, However, Losing Any Of Its Exquisite Delicacy. When He Represents An Entire People Rebelling Against Hunger, Or Vanquished By Disease And Death, We Deeply Feel The Horror Of The Picture, At The Same Time That An Occasional Smile Is Elicited By The Comic Genius Of The Artist, Which Exercises Itself Even Amidst The Agonies Of Famine And Pestilence, So That, Through The Grand Design Of The Exhibition, The Delicate Touches Of The Pencil Are Still Visible, And Individual Character Perceptible Through The Very Depths Of Bold And General Description; It Is Van Dyck Painting On The Reverse Of One Of Michael Angelo's Pictures. - Taken From The Betrothed Written By Alessandro Manzoni
