We live in an individualistic society, which we often don't realise. We invite you to read this text, where we will have the opportunity to revisit a great work, showing us the importance of looking at collectivity, of issues that still prevail in liquid modernity. For as long as man has known himself, he has been obsessed with his own image. Paintings, sculptures and texts depicting the greatness of man and his achievements are not uncommon, but everyone wants to see only the beautiful side of the self, the portrait shows us a dark side that we don't present in everyday life.
