Battistelli Mario - Landscape of Val d'Orcia

In this painting, Battistelli shows us a landscape from his home region, the Val d'Orcia. It's one of his favorite subjects. He immerses himself in the panorama of rolling hills and winding roads lined with cypress trees that lead to small clusters of farmhouses. Here, too, it's easy to identify with the Tuscan landscapes and the soft lines that form the horizon. The small village feels idyllic, a little remote and remote, thus instilling a subtle nostalgia for a simpler life.

Mario Battistelli may be considered a local painter, but that doesn't mean his work loses its recognizability. He stands out for his highly expressive brushstrokes. With just a few precise brushstrokes, he creates his own vision of reality. He typically focuses on figurative painting, and this is true here as well. However, it must be said that he seems to bring into his cultural arsenal not only the teachings of his direct teachers, but also the experimentation of great artists of the early twentieth century. Cézanne's landscapes come first, also rendered with rapid brushstrokes and a preference for colors that appear almost diluted on the canvas. Here too, the palette features very light, not intensely pigmented colors, creating a harmonious whole.

Mario Battistelli is an artist from Sarteano. As a young man, he attended Don Manfredo Coltellini's art school. In 1983, he was chosen to paint the Palio di Sarteano. Most of his works are now privately owned. This artist's painting is distinguished by its immediacy. He manages to convey his vision of the world with just a few brushstrokes that nevertheless have a strong impact.
