History of Music stems so that a passionate about art can understand deeply its value , importance and the details and the nuances only if it knows the changes that this art has undergone in time and in its history. The art lover is often attracted by everything that revolves around it, by literature and music that continue to be the reason and the inspiration for the best compositions. Argue and depict in the objects what we are going to make parallels between the arts, events, particulary, featurares, special emblems, this will be a further way that we will take to achieve activities that will take structural and economic form, but that is both a tool to spread art and culture. Our parallel goal will be always to donate a portion of the proceeds with documentation to agencies or charities who need aid.

Marc Chagall - Christ in the Night - 1948

“Christ in the Night” is a representation of the crucified Christ as a symbol of the jews murdered during the the wartime years of 1930-1948. It was among the themes featured in "Chagall: Love, War and Exile," at the Jewish Museum in New York.

In “Christ in the Night,” the crucified Jesus wears the Jewish prayer shawl, but the color, a deep, mournful blue, has changed the tone from agony to sorrow. The shetl in the background is not burning: The war is over.

Gustav Klimt - Portrait of a Lady - 1916–1917
Oil on canvas, Galleria d’Arte Moderna Ricci Oddi, Piacenza.

🕵️‍♀️ Fun Fact: The painting was stolen in 1997 and found 23 years later… hidden inside a wall.
Workers cleaning ivy on the museum’s exterior discovered a small metal panel. Behind it, wrapped in a trash bag, was the missing Klimt — perfectly preserved.

🎭 But the mystery goes deeper:
Before its theft, experts revealed that Portrait of a Lady was actually painted over another Klimt, a long-lost work titled Portrait of a Young Woman. Klimt had entirely reworked the canvas, making it a rare “double portrait.”

❓ Who stole it? Who hid it? Why inside the museum wall?
To this day, the case remains full of unanswered questions — adding another layer of intrigue to an already enigmatic painting.

A masterpiece with two identities… and one of the strangest disappearances in art history.

Fun Facts & Little Stories about Joan Miró

Joan Miró (1893–1983) may be one of the most playful and dreamlike painters of the 20th century — but behind the joyful forms lies a life full of surprising stories.

✨ 1. He worked as an accountant before becoming an artist.
Miró’s family pushed him toward a stable career. He lasted… a few months. After a nervous breakdown, he devoted himself entirely to art.

🎨 2. Miró said he wanted to “assassinate painting.”
This wasn’t violence — it was rebellion. He sought to destroy academic rules and rebuild art from pure signs, dreams, and instinct.

🌿 3. His studio was a sanctuary.
Miró filled it with stones, sticks, feathers, and found objects. He believed these natural forms helped unlock the subconscious.

💫 4. He often painted at night.
He said the nighttime silence helped him “hear colors better.”

🐦 5. The famous Miró stars and birds?
They come from childhood memories of the Catalan sky and countryside. For Miró, birds were symbols of freedom and imagination.

🔥 6. He refused to commercialize himself.
Even at the peak of fame, Miró avoided interviews, publicity, and big statements. “What I paint,” he said, “is the way I breathe.”

💥 7. Late in life, he turned to explosive techniques.
At 70+, he began burning canvases, puncturing them, and experimenting with fire — always searching for renewal.
