"Testamentum" (1618)
Rönesans döneminde, merakın ve yaratıcılığın yükseldiği o dönemde İtalya'nın Sienna kentinde yaşayan bu mucit, yaptığı deneylerin ve çalışmaların kilisenin kulağına gitmesiyle ölümün her an kapıda olduğunun farkındaydı. Zekası ve merakı sayesinde kimsenin anlamadığı şeyi anlıyor, kimsenin cesaret edemediği soruları soruyordu.
Ne yazık ki zamanındaki bir çok deha gibi o da yanlış yüzyılda doğmanın cezasını ödemişti, kutsala hakaret olarak sayılan istekleri yüzünden adı çıkmış ve bağnazların hedefi haline gelmişti, kilisenin baskısı artık gölgesi gibi takip ediyordu onu.
O kara gün gelip gardiyanlar peşine düştüğünde apar topar çalışma odasına girdi, çalışmalarını ve vasiyetini bir zarfa koydu. Pek değerli dostundan son bir portresini yapmasını istiyordu. Bu portrede tüm nefreti ve hayal kırıklığıyla herkesin gözünün içine bakacaktı, sonsuza kadar yüzümüze bakacak, bu duyguyu herkesin mezarına taşıyacaktı…
This Inventor, who lived during rennaisance era as the curiosity and creativity raised like never before, he knew that the death was standing at his door as the church heard the rumors about his works. Thanks to his intelligence, he was capable to understand no one ever understand and ask questions no one ever dared to ask. Unfortunately, like many other genius mind of his era, he paid the price of being born in the wrong century, the church was following him like his shadow. When this gloomy day has finally arrived and the guardians came after him, he went to his working room immediately then he put all his works and his testament in the envelope. He asked his very dear friend to make one last portrait of his. In this portrait he would look forever into the eyes of everyone with anger and disappointment, one last gift for everyone who look at this picture to take their graves...
