A bell for Erasmus of Rotterdam, is a work of Fausto Maria Franchi’s collection.

A bell for Erasmus of Rotterdam. This bell with an original shape was dedicated together with others in the series to a great man of culture in history. The artist seems to refer to one of the Erasmus books, “The eulogy of madness”. These superimposed elements, as if they were split shells, resemble the search in the depths of the human mind, where, by leafing through layer by layer, you get to the core of feelings and thoughts. The broken layers hint at the difficulty in being able to dig deep into human thought.
