Classica natura morta con mele, pere, fichi e uva, smagliante nei vividi colori cui la raffinata tecnica oleografica conferisce ulteriore brillantezza a imitazione della pittura a olio. Il Sauvage, "specialista" in frutta, nature morte e ritratti, si fece conoscere ed apprezzare nella Parigi dell'Ottocento sin dal suo debutto al "Salon des Artistes" nel 1868. Cfr. Bénézit, Dictionnaire des peintres et graveurs, XII/p. 327.
brossura «234 giorni sull'altalena delle emozioni: sarà vivo? Se è morto cosa faccio? Non posso sopportare una nuova perdita... non so se sono capace di reggere ancora una volta. Ma forse è vivo. In fondo non ho segnali evidenti che sia morto. In verità segnali non ne ho mai avuti, non così evidenti. Eppure sono morte. Erano morte... Ho portato con me la morte senza saperlo. No: devo essere fiduciosa. Se non avessimo un briciolo di fiducia non avremmo tentato ancora. Abbiamo tentato perché vogliamo avere fiducia: ancora. Probabilmente è vivo. Voglio godere della vita di mio figlio. Voglio esserci. Ci sono! Ma se muore? Che ne faccio di questo tempo? Come faccio...? » Perdere un figlio durante l'attesa non rende migliori, così come si usa dire per trovare un valore positivo a qualcosa di tremendo, ma certamente rende diversi. Si cambia e non si torna più indietro. Col tempo certi spigoli possono essere smussati, certi traumi possono essere digeriti e sopportati, ma non si torna più quelli di prima, nemmeno se si riesce ad avere il figlio vivo che si è tanto rincorso.

br. Apparentemente avvolta dal silenzio e dalla censura, la morte è oggi in realtà oggetto di un unico discorso, quello della tecnologia medica che pretende di definirla una volta per tutte e mette a disposizione i mezzi per manipolare quello che è sempre stato considerato un ambito "indisponibile" per l'essere umano. Contestando la monoliticità di questa narrazione unica, Mantegazza va alla ricerca di quanto si è perduto della pluralità degli altri modi di "narrare la fine". Nel folklore, nei riti religiosi, nella storia dell'arte e nell'antropologia si propone una visione della morte a più voci che, senza rifiutare il contributo della scienza e della tecnologia mediche, non vi sacrifichino il senso del mistero, l'apertura alla domanda, la problematizzazione etica e umana che la morte ha da sempre portato con sé.
