In Image and Myth; Luca Giuliani tells the stories behind the pictures; exploring how artists of antiquity had to determine which motifs or historical and mythic events to use to tell an underlying story while also keeping in mind the tastes and expectations of paying clients.

His repertoire is immense and the language delicate. Since I am not proficient in Urdu; I started looking up the meanings of some of the words he has used in his songs. My all time favourite Tum na jaane kis jahaan mein kho gaye is by Sahir. His poetry touches parts of your soul that you didnt know existed. Sublime.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
