Aldo Marangoni - Venice

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Era, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings.

The painting is a typical example of Aldo Marangoni's oeuvre and was created with a remarkable Impressionist technique. The artist uses rapid, hatched brushstrokes to quickly delineate shapes and volumes. This allows him to capture, with every single brushstroke, the effects of light and atmosphere on objects, and to instantly convey a view of Venice with precise weather and environmental conditions onto the canvas. The entire color palette, from the canal to the sky, is precisely matched to the atmospheric conditions being depicted. As with the Impressionists, the perspective grid is not eliminated; spatial depth is determined exclusively through color gradations.

Aldo Marangoni is an artist who has devoted himself primarily to the depiction of his hometown, Venice. He can therefore be considered a continuation of the tradition of landscape painting of the lagoon city, even though he interprets his works with a more contemporary, impressionistic approach.
