{"product_id":"antonio-nocera-anno-2000","title":"Antonio Nocera - Year 2000","description":"\u003cp\u003e10The depiction of animals in art has ancient origins, even appearing in primitive cave paintings. For religious reasons, various types of animals appear in the works of various ancient civilizations. It was especially in the Middle Ages, within the International Gothic style, that animal depictions became widespread as true portraits, both within works of art and in notebooks of drawings and sketches. The presence of animals as subjects in art remained constant until the contemporary era. In the case of this lithograph by Antonio Nocera, the depiction of a dove takes on the precise symbolic connotation of a wish for peace among all the peoples of the world. The symbolism derives from the biblical episode of the dove that, bringing Noah an olive branch, indicated the end of the Great Flood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis lithograph is a perfect example of Antonio Nocera's style. The artist maintains a connection to phenomenal reality, but emphasizes it through an expressionist and symbolist lens. Antonio Nocera's compositions are highly stylised, resulting in the entire structure of the work being defined by a combination of very pronounced lines and a sinuous flow. This also gives rise to the elegant deformations of the subjects, who become elongated and lose their physiognomic features. Colour plays a minor role, compact and devoid of pictorial effects; its nuanced tones are the perfect complement to Nocera's drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eAntonio Nocera was born in Caivano in 1949 and trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples. His artistic career developed primarily in Milan, where he lived since 1970 and frequented the artistic circles of Brera and the Navigli area. His fame is now international, thanks to numerous exhibitions around the world where his paintings have been featured. His themes are drawn from fairy tales and legends, creating symbolic subjects that resonate with contemporary reality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crimi Vincenzo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56217982763394,"sku":"VCRI001","price":3000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG_20210716_183513-scaled.jpg?v=1768469965","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/antonio-nocera-anno-2000","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
