Window is a spectacular vision unveiled by
a huge reflective metallic curtain, which

occupies half of the picture plan. Paradoxical

in its unusual appearance, this metallic silk

curtain opens up the picture’s stage like a
dream. The vision is the other half of the

picture, but one could say that the whole

picture is the window in which a Venetian

vista is revealed. Here is the usual romantic
bridge crossing those Venetian “calle,” as

if crossing the time, the gondola. But what

really catches the eye like a magnet is the

enigmatic body of the lady in crimson in the
foreground – a rubicund vision amplified

and reverberated in the reflective squares

of the folded curtain. Carmine highlights

pierce the metal, intensifying the magic
view of this passionate body. Indeed, her

sanguine dress evokes the whole pathos

which makes her gaze languish, her lips

move with sensual desire. She holds at bay
the Venetian passion, she is a figure of love,

death, and fluid desire.

It might be interesting to note also that in

this dreamy and spectacular composition,

the reflective surface of the metallic curtain

meets the liquid of the canal – as if in a
chimerical vision. It is in this cone of

vision and encounter between these two
