Alberto Lorini - View of Vico Equense

02The subject of the urban landscape was already present in the Middle Ages and Modern times, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It is worth remembering that immediately following the realist currents of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenzy of the city, the crowds, the traffic, and typically bourgeois settings.

As we can see from this work, artist Alberto Lorini masterfully interprets the watercolor technique, enhancing its characteristics in a vision with modern and original features. Reality becomes a total pictorial vibration with decidedly existential overtones, the fruit of an exercise in pure perception on the part of the artist. Formally, this is expressed by maximizing the expressive potential of diluted color. Alberto Lorini's refined sensibility manifests itself in recording the effect of light on objects, but this exercise is carried out with a strong poetic sense that shapes the representation of sensory data. Thus, light almost dissolves objects, transferring them to the timeless dimension of memory. Light and color act in unison, and this enhances the art of watercolor in a coherent representation that maintains its connection to reality while transferring it to a highly lyrical dimension.

Alberto Lorini is an artist of Tuscan origins. Throughout his diverse artistic career, Lorini has explored the technique of watercolor, of which he has established himself as a master. Cityscapes and picturesque village views are the preferred subjects of his now mature and well-articulated pictorial language.
