🇲🇹 Ħares lil hinn mill-parti ta' quddiem. Hemm iktar dettalji milli taħseb.

🖼 Spiss neħlu fil-wiċċ ta' dak li hu rrappreżentat f'pittura, u dan itellifna milli nagħrfu partijiet oħrajn tax-xogħol li jistgħu jkunu interessanti daqs is-suġġett ewlieni.

F'din il-pittura Barokka, filwaqt li l-fokus huwa fuq il-figuri prepotenti ta' Lot u wliedu l-bniet mit-Testment il-Qadim, hemm dettalji fl-isfond li jistgħu jaħarbulna.

🔎 Ħa nħarsu b'iktar reqqa: fil-bogħod, tista' tara figura u belt iffortifikata qed tinħaraq. X'qed jiġri? Għalfejn taħseb li Mattia Preti tefa' din ix-xena fl-isfond?

🇬🇧 Look past the foreground. There's more going on than you think.

🖼We often get caught up in what is represented in the forefront of a painting. It snatches our attention away from other parts, which can be just as intriguing as the main event.

In this Baroque painting, while we focus on the overpowering figures of Lot and his daughters from the Old Testament, we tend to miss out on the background details.

🔎 Let us look more closely: in the distance, you can see a figure and a fortified city up in flames. What is going on? Why do you think Mattia Preti included this backdrop?

Last week, ahead of the closing of the Malta Biennale 2026, the last Satellite Event took place at the Upper Barrakka Gardens in Valletta.��Conceived by Azzurra De Gregorio, Danse Macabre reinterpreted the medieval allegory of death. This site-specific and participatory performance created a liminal space where ancient symbolism confronted modern anxieties. Set within Malta’s historic gardens, the project transformed the location into a living tableau where local participants, embodied contemporary social archetypes reflecting current power structures while honouring the site’s rich cultural legacy.
