In me thou see’st the twilight (2)

Chapter 2. The synergy

For Chapter 1 (“The sonnet”), click here.

This chapter of the “twilight” series, inspired by Shakespeare’s sonnet 73, brings together five artworks, spanning more than four centuries — from Michelangelo to Kandinsky, all exploring the theme of twilight and its relation to the human condition.
