Muse with Lute

Her presence
Is everlasting
Like the autumn,
Like growing and falling leaves.

She touches the lute
As if it was made of clouds -
Romantic, relentlessly
Tender.

Oh talk to her,
Talk to the sound of the lute,
The longing for peace and quiet,
A game in which a celestial rhythm wins
And her gracious movements are written in the sky.

Tintoretto was one of the most famous, milestone artists of the Late Reneissance.

His numerous works were based on the reinvention of complicated, epic Antique plots along with his pure admiration for the nature and human beauty. Holistic, bright, created with an unforeseen sense of shape, landscape, harmony, containing elements of mystery and deeply symbolic, his works became one of the emblems of the Late Renaissance in Europe and are displayed all over the world, making a significant contribution to the global artistic heritage.
