Josef von Sternberg – L’Angelo Azzurro is a powerful and emotionally charged painting by Francesco Ferrari, part of his Registi del Cinema series. With bold expressive brushstrokes and a striking contrast of deep blacks, warm reds and pale skin tones, the artist brings together the visionary director Josef von Sternberg and the unforgettable image of Marlene Dietrich as Lola Lola.
On the left, von Sternberg appears serious and intense, while on the right the legendary cabaret singer sits in her iconic pose — top hat, red stockings and all. Ferrari captures the magnetic tension between the director’s controlled vision and the raw, seductive energy that made The Blue Angel one of the most famous films in cinema history.
