David Casini Reimagines Masaccio's Madonna in Milan
David Casini's 'Madonna Casini' is part of 'Progetto Città Ideale' curated by Andrea Lacarpia at Edicola Radetzky in Milan. The work references Masaccio's early Renaissance painting 'Madonna Casini', abstracting it into a light, material composition. A plastic hand detail suggests the humanity of the original, inviting slow looking. The exhibition contrasts with the surrounding Milanese nightlife.
