"Alla fontana" (o "Le due colombe") è un dipinto del 1896 di Vittorio Matteo Corcos, che raffigura due colombe e un'elegante figura femminile presso una fontana, catturando l'essenza della Belle Époque con dettagli e una composizione raffinata.

Landscape with power poles. A woman with blonde hair, flying superman-style over the landscape. Another woman with dark hair and a lyre sitting on her back and is singing. The women are surrounded by circles, symbolizing electromagnetic waves.
I love weird paintings. And I can imagine that it is not that easy to try to establish new allegories in a time where allegories were already obsolete.

Vittorio Matteo Corcos dipinge Alla fontana nel 1896, catturando la raffinatezza della Belle Époque. La giovane donna, seduta con grazia accanto alla fontana con il leone di Palazzo Pitti, incarna un’epoca di stile e contemplazione.

This painting is called Dreams and was created by the Italian artist Vittorio Corcos. He specialised in portraits of fashionable young women and men in the late 1800s and early 1900s. This is really a picture that has to be seen in person because the gaze of the model holds your attention. This picture caused a bit of a scandal at the time because of the realism of the portrait, the fashionable modernity of the subject and the scandalous books she's reading. In 1896 when this portrait was painted Italian publishers had a tendency to publish crime fiction and mysteries with yellow covers. And these types of books were not considered subjects for young women to read.
Many years ago on a trip to Amsterdam I came across an exhibit of artists from the Ottocento. The story behind this painting is in the alt text.
