Augusto Radice - In the Woods

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Augusto Radice's landscapes are distinguished by their exquisitely realistic character. From the very subjects he chooses, his paintings speak to us of simple existences, tied to country life. These are scenes where everything is simple and human presence is limited, and when they appear, they are engaged in simple daily activities. Augusto Radice's desire for realism also extends to the nature of his painting. His style tends toward impressionism, aiming to convey restless atmospheric and luminous vibrations to his subjects. The brushstrokes, therefore, are vibrant and complex, with a hatching that always conveys great freshness and immediacy to his subjects. Augusto Radice's palette favors muted colors, far from excess. Another distinctive trait of this painter are his compositions, based on wide-ranging frames, in which space is measured by the depth of a road or a stream.

Artist Augusto Radice was born in 1913. Radice stands out for his realist approach to painting, which he integrates with an immediate, impressionistic rendering of sensory detail. During his formative years, he was undoubtedly influenced by 19th-century impressionist and realist painting and by artists such as Giuseppe De Nittis.
