Available at Arden Gallery, Boston @ardengalleryfineart “The Tempest” 20x16, oil on panel, ©️2018 Fatima Ronquillo. Swipe for details. The idea for “The Tempest” came from two different sources. The first is Shakespeare’s play of the same title and the second from Fiordiligi’s aria of steadfast love in Mozart’s opera “Cosí Fan Tutte”. I wanted to depict hope and strength of character in the face of adversity, symbolized by a figure confronting a gathering storm. Had I been any god of power, I would Have sunk the sea within the earth, or ere It should the good ship so have swallowed, and The fraughting souls within her. ~ William Shakespeare “The Tempest” Come scoglio immoto resta Contra i venti, e la tempesta, Così ognor quest’alma è forte Nella fede, e nell’amor. Con noi nacque quella face Che ci piace, e ci consola, E potrà la morte sola Far che cangi affetto il cor. ~ Mozart “Così Fan Tutte” #fatimaronquillo #contemporaryart #classicalpainting #mozart #shakespeare
