Antonio Atzori - Dutch Houses

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. In the work of the artist Antonio Atzori, a composition consisting of clusters of small houses with a decidedly rustic feel is a recurring theme.

The work features a compositional model typical of Antonio Atzori. The scene is set diagonally, allowing the series of houses to reveal their volumes. The composition, therefore, resolves itself as an intersecting of geometric planes and solids, giving the painting's surface a lively, almost polyhedral feel. This is despite the painter's display of a very summary, almost impressionistic touch in his desire to emphasize the light and atmospheric vibrations detected on the objects. In this way, Antonio Atzori, despite the geometric rigor of the composition, manages to infuse liveliness and immediacy into the landscape theme.

Antonio Atzori, born in 1939, is an artist from Oristano. A primarily figurative painter, he has focused primarily on landscapes. For him, the depiction of small Sardinian villages is a pretext for a personal exploration of volumes and their interaction with atmospheric space.
