{"product_id":"arthur-wardle-senza-titolo","title":"Arthur Wardle - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnimal depictions in art have ancient origins, appearing even 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 this painting, the animal subject merges with that of the genre scene, meeting another widespread theme in the history of art: the hunting scene. Arthur Wardle was one of the most important exponents of this pictorial genre in English art between the 19th and 20th centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eArthur Wardle is a perfect interpreter of the hunting scene in all its codified rules. This means that his pictorial language must necessarily adhere to an illustrious pictorial tradition that makes mimesis its primary purpose. For this reason, his style is one of rigorous naturalism supported by an excellent academically trained technique. The artist masterfully reproduces every detail of his subjects with a fluid, fluid brushstroke. The animals are depicted in every detail, even in the complex dynamism of a very lively scene. Arthur Wardle's classical approach to painting is also evident in his palette, which is based on a perfect tonal and atmospheric unity across the painting's surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eArthur Wardle 1860-1949. Born in London, his first exhibition was a study of animals along the Thames, which immediately earned him great recognition in that genre of painting and a large number of commissions. By 1936, he had exhibited over 100 works at the Royal Academy, as well as at the Society of British Artists in Suffolk Street. He painted a wide variety of animal subjects with consistent quality. He was considered equally skilled in the most diverse techniques—oil, watercolor, and pastel—and was awarded a prize by the Pastel Society in 1911 and made a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolors in 1922. In 1931, he held his first solo exhibition at the Fine Art Society, and in 1935, the Vicar's Gallery mounted an exhibition of his masterpieces. He also exhibited his works in Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iotti Giorgio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215832953218,"sku":"GIOT001","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/P1270171-copia-scaled.jpg?v=1768429642","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/arthur-wardle-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
