Description of the work
Description of the work
The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Era, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings. In Aurelio Pedrazzini's cityscapes of his native Milan, as in the present work, the quotidian aspect prevails, the frank and sincere realism of everyday life in an urban context.

The style of artist Aurelio Pedrazzini presents a perfect fusion of realism and a delicate impressionistic rendering of sensory details. On the one hand, the artist precisely describes the view in all its details, with a strong sense of urban reality and the everyday life of simple life. On the other, his refined painting technique allows him to convey a sense of immediacy to the canvas, thanks to rapid brushstrokes charged with atmospheric vibrations. Light thus reverberates on objects, but without interfering with the precise description of reality. The entire view is thus characterized by a clear luminosity that is revealed, by contrast, in the play of shadows. The use of a palette of soft and delicate colors also serves this purpose.
Aurelio Pedrazzini was born in Milan in 1927. He initially worked as a ceramic decorator at Richard-Ginori. In 1960, he became a freelance artist. In 1966, he had his first exhibition with his wife Anna Pavesi at the Centro Culturale Artistico in Milan, followed by a long series of exhibitions in galleries throughout Italy and abroad. From 1987 to 1998, he taught oil painting and drawing courses. In 2011, invited by the Museo della Carta e della Filigrana in Fabriano, he held a watercolor exhibition from August 30th to September 18th, simultaneously teaching a watercolor course in the museum's library. Also in 2011, he participated with the "Associazione Italiana Acquerellisti" in a group exhibition of watercolors at the Museo dell'Acquerello in Mexico City, and in 2012 at the Museo Bolivariano.
