{"product_id":"arduino-napoleone-ritratto-donna","title":"Arduino Napoleon - Portrait of a Woman","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn this painting, we see the full technical skill of the painter Arduino Napoleone, who renders this female figure with a remarkable naturalistic rendering. Through a soft painterly style, the artist achieves a well-defined and detailed subject, both physically and figuratively. The light gently strikes the subject, creating soft shadows that vividly animate the complexion. In the background, however, the painter unleashes his gestures against a decontextualized backdrop. The entire painting is dynamic and animated, typical of the early twentieth-century movement, still influenced by post-Impressionism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eArduino Napoleone was born in Palena in 1913. He studied in Naples, where he attended the local Academy of Fine Arts. After returning to Abruzzo after the First World War, he moved to Pescara, where he taught at various institutions. At the same time, he continued his work as a painter, taking part in several national and international exhibitions. He passed away in Palena in 1985.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ortolano Alessandra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56212957364610,"sku":"AORT001","price":6750.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/P_20190129_191616.jpg?v=1768407862","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/arduino-napoleone-ritratto-donna","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
