This artwork - born on a project realized by the artist in the 1930's and manufactured posthumous - represents a sensual nude woman who symbolizes the hospitality. Delightful creation by the great Italian painter Orfeo Tamburi. He firstly embraced the principles of the Roman School, from which he matured an evocative language with warm chromatic intonations that found favorite themes in portraits and urban views. After a trip to Paris where he discovered the painting of Cèzanne, the artist began a long friendship with Giuseppe Ungaretti, the director Marcello Pagliaro and Curzio Malaparte. In the 1940s he began to collaborate with several Roman theaters and was commissioned to decorate the atrium of the Theater at EUR with the History of the Theater from the Origins to the Melodrama, of which only 6 preparatory cartoons were made. He also had a brief and isolated experience as a film actor interpreting, for the direction of Roberto Rossellini, the episode ''Envy'' of the film ''The Seven Deadly Sins''. See less
