The Damned

Maitani's relief does not attempt a monumental definition of the figures, whereby, once the doctrinal system justifies it, there will be an irrepressible flight of fancy, with an accentuated taste for the grotesque; without adhering to a purely episodic and ornamental drama, the sculpture will bend to the laws of an impeccable rhythm, highly decorative.
