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;\"\u003eA rather atypical work in the oeuvre of painter Michele Cascella, who has always made color his most effective means of expression. In this work, however, it is primarily the graphic style that is impactful. The portrait is therefore very interesting in showing how an artist, characterized by an impressionistic-inspired language, was nevertheless capable of achieving a perfect naturalistic rendering. The style remains cursive, immediate, typical of Cascella in capturing the subject in an instant. But even at such speed, the artist manages to capture the details of the female figure, giving us an idea of ​​her physical and individual features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMichele Cascella (Ortona 1892-Milan 1989). A painter with a remarkable career, his works are exhibited in important museums both in Italy and abroad. He experimented with numerous techniques, but his greatest achievements were with his floral subjects. Cascella's style of painting is simultaneously investigative. He remains faithful to a naturalistic approach, but his technique is dedicated to capturing all the chromatic and luminous vibrations of the floral world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cstrong\u003eThe work is attributed to Michele Cascella and was executed on a sheet of the restaurant's letterhead.\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Musso Fabrizia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56213046329730,"sku":"FMUS005","price":1400.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG_20190213_184831.jpg?v=1768408336","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/attribuito-michele-cascella-ofelia","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
