Annalisa Bonanigo - The Last Mask

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 engraving displays exquisite execution and a remarkable ability to capture detail. The composition lacks spatial depth, but all elements are foregrounded, clearly visible as in an illustration. The linework is highly calligraphic, following a curved, sinuous rhythm that is somewhat reminiscent of certain Art Nouveau engravings.

Annalisa Bonanigo is an artist who demonstrates an excellent academic training technique with which she creates engravings.
