Anonymous - Farmhouse facade with sail

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.

The execution of the work is highly distinctive and evocative, given the artist's choice to opt for a reduced scale of tones. The artist thus almost forgoes color, yet the landscape's expressiveness is not affected; rather, it finds particular vigor in the quality of the application. The earthy tones give the drawing a strong rural and maritime feel, the simplicity of which is reaffirmed by the minimal execution, reducing objects to the bare essentials. However, thanks to a structural execution, the landscape is visually captured within a concrete space. Already in the compositional structure of the painting, the artist indicates depth, framing the view with a juxtaposition of buildings. The buildings in the background are highlighted with a few essential lines that highlight their geometric parallelepiped structures. With a refined touch, the artist identifies the vibrations in the surfaces, which thus appear concrete despite being unsupported by any drawn element.

As we can see from the analysis of this work, the artist who executed it is equipped with an excellent academic training technique that allows him to obtain extraordinary results in a conception of pictorial practice that is essentially minimal and rationalist.
