Aldo Fornoni - Untitled

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.

Looking at Aldo Fornoni's landscapes, we realize how deeply this artist is connected to the great Italian painting tradition. His work can rightly be described as modern-Renaissance, as this artist displays a profound sense of naturalistic rendering. The subjects come to life by softly interacting with the space through a light, nuanced, glazed application of paint. The spatial conception, on the other hand, is solid and rational, yet at the same time grounded in the tonal values ​​of color. The chromatic range, for its part, also contributes to this profound effort at naturalistic rendering, bringing light to enhance the subjects' volumes and forms.

Aldo Fornoni was a Milanese painter born in 1916 and died in 2011. He trained at the Brera Academy. Specializing primarily in nude figures, he taught life drawing for a long time at the Scuola del Castello Sforzesco and later in his own studio. He worked in the United States from 1950 to 1958. His preferred techniques were oil, pastel, and watercolor. He participated in numerous exhibitions in Italy and abroad. His works are held at the Yuma Historical Museum, the War Department in Washington, D.C., and in numerous public and private collections worldwide.
