Arcadia, despite being a real place, is also an archetype that symbolizes reverie, to the point that it can also be considered as the idealized Homeland, metaphorically speaking, of a bucolic romanticism.
A privileged place, in which the dreamy settings have seduced the imagination of artists and poets throughout the centuries, to think of Arcadia is also to give a pulse to nostalgia and to suppose that any time in the past was undoubtedly better.
Above all, if we allow ourselves to be influenced by that passive parsimony that, hand in hand with autumn, gives us optical illusions each season, of unparalleled beauty.
As Nicolás Poussin said in his painting ‘The Shepherds of Arcadia’, at times it is incredibly easy to get carried away by daydreams and come to think, even for a moment, that of: Et in Arcadia Ego. I am also in Arcadia.
