essentially shadow play to depict a battle with an alligator.
Among Fontana's last works are a series of Teatrini («little theatres»), in which he returned to an
essentially flat idiom by using backcloths enclosed within wings resembling a frame; the reference to theatre emphasizes the act of looking, while in the foreground a series of irregular spheres or oscillating, wavy silhouettes creates a lively
shadow play.
