A. Fortunato - Rustico Pugliese

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Fortunato's style is distinguished by a delicate balance between naturalism and expressive representation. He certainly begins by recording sensory data, yet transfigures it into his intimate and subjective interpretation. Thus, we can see how his views are subjected to a process of pictorial synthesis that delicately abstracts their form. Objects are emptied of their materiality to give life to a substance made essentially of color. And we can rightly speak of "giving life," because Fortunato's pictorial layering is extremely complex and dynamic, imbuing his subjects with profound vibrations that are not only atmospheric but also spiritual. The scene is immersed in the white of the material color, almost in relief.

A. Fortunato, as we can see from the execution of this work, stands out for a landscape production in which the application of color, material, takes on a leading role.
