Angelo Bondani - Flemish Flower

Flowers as a subject in themselves began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers began to appear not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also becomes a way of interpreting reality.

The painter's goal is to create a perfectly naturalistic rendering of the subject. To this end, he uses a highly refined technique that allows him to capture every minute detail (of the flowers, the vase, and the perfect blending of shadows) while also capturing the vibrations of light, with more impressionistic touches. Despite this, the painter seems to care little about atmospheric rendering, maintaining the entire scene on a glossy surface.

Angelo Bondani displays a high level of academic technique. He remains faithful to a concept of art based on the imitation of nature and allows little subjectivity. His style is therefore highly realistic, yet shows some traces of idealization. His technique also yields to impressionistic hatching, especially when depicting the effect of light on objects.
