Angelo Lamorgese - Untitled

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Age, 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. In Angelo Lamorgese's city views, as in the present work, the everyday aspect prevails, the frank and sincere realism of everyday life in a village setting where the Apulian countryside, with its villages of white houses, takes center stage.

Angelo Lamorgese's style presents a perfect fusion of realism and a delicate, impressionistic rendering of sensory details. On the one hand, the artist precisely describes the view in all its details, with a strong sense of the Apulian rural reality and the simple daily life of everyday life, where human presence, however, remains unobtrusive. On the other hand, his refined painting technique allows him to convey a sense of immediacy to the canvas, thanks to rapid brushstrokes charged with atmospheric vibrations. Light thus reverberates across objects, yet without interfering with the precise description of reality. The entire view is thus characterized by a clear luminosity that is revealed, by contrast, in the play of shadows. The use of a palette of soft, delicate colors is also aimed at this goal. The composition is always constructed in a harmonious and balanced manner, based on ordered lines and the juxtaposition of solid geometric volumes.

Angelo Lamorgese was born in Molfetta in 1951, the city where he lives and works.
He studied at the Art School in Bari, where he developed an early interest in architecture. Since the mid-1970s, he has focused on figurative art, particularly the study of the female figure and the Apulian landscape. His landscapes are a delicate and refined fusion of realism and impressionism. Recently, he has also focused on the subject of the olive tree, another typical feature of the Apulian countryside, developing a highly distinctive material technique.
