A project that dismantles and reassembles the image of the artist, revealing the rebellious and radiant soul of Sveva Caetani (1917 - 1994), returns to the spotlight: Recapitulation, her monumental watercolor series interweaving family history and spiritual journey, arrives in Italy. A descendant of one of Italy’s oldest noble families and daughter of Duke Leone Caetani, Sveva moved to Canada with her father and his companion Ofelia Fabiani. After her father’s death in 1935, she spent decades in enforced isolation alongside her mother, cut off from social life and unable to pursue her artistic studies. It was only in the 1960s that she regained her creative freedom, opening a season of intense artistic production. The 56 large watercolors of Recapitulation unfold as a symbolic journey in which the paternal figure becomes a guide, a kind of Virgil through her personal Dantean forest. These are works dense with memory and vision, where painting itself becomes an archive of life and rebirth.
