The picture represents “the black night of the marquis Ermanno Seborga-Sonego and the rhinoceroses which have been killed by himself” (an Italian fable). The Italian text at the bottom speaks about this fable: “La notte nera del marchese Ermanno Seborga-Sonego processato e condannato a morte dai rinoceronti da lui uccisi in gioventù, quindi graziato per intercessione di Santa Rita la quale ebbe poi a pentirsene amaramente. Anno 1001”.
The picture is a Dino Buzzati ‘s work.
D. Buzzati (1906-1972) was a famous Italian writer.
