A. Pelagatti - Untitled

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones.

Pelagatti's works present ordinary, working-class characters through an artistic language of profoundly poetic realism. His canvases extol the simplicity of everyday life, where the painter finds a spirituality even in their small gestures that he seeks to imprint on the canvas. Technically, this also translates formally into a realist intent. The brushstrokes, depending on the case, can be more precise, but in some details the painter opts for a more lively and impressionistic touch. Light plays a key role, skillfully managed to create interplays of shadows on the subjects.

A. Pelagatti demonstrates a remarkable and solid academic training. His poetics leans toward a realistic depiction of simple subjects taken from everyday life.
