Arturo Vergagni - Spring Dream

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones. In this particular painting, the scene conceived by Arturo Vergagni is combined with a lively landscape inspired by the colors and light of spring.

Artist Arturo Vergagni's aim is to offer a simplified interpretation of reality, seeking new values ​​of purity in representation. For this reason, his painting style can be described as naïve, yet expressed in a highly classical and traditional manner. His language is essentially figurative and finds its broadest expression in the traditional genres of landscape and still life. However, the artist manages to infuse tradition with his originality and personal touch, precisely through his pursuit of purity of representation that defines his style. Concretely, this is expressed in a fluid technique that resolves subjects with a few, quick but incisive strokes. Objects almost dematerialize in the lightness of the glazes. Even in terms of color, the artist favors decidedly pale tones, full of light.

Arturo Vergagni was born in Valsesia but lived in Milan. Both in his choice of subjects and his execution, we can say he is an artist who operates within the realm of classical and figurative art, yet displays a certain naïve approach to his compositions. His desire to achieve lightness and simplicity in representation is evident, with the aim of imbuing his artwork with primordial values ​​of purity and innocence.
