Carlo Cordua - Marina

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 constant aspiration for painters. 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 16th century; up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism. The "seascape" in particular is a recurring theme among artists. First, for the lyricism implicit in views overlooking the sea or in romantic images of small harbors. Second, because the depiction of aquatic surfaces allows painters to give free rein to their chromatic flair, thanks to refined interplays of reflections and reverberations.

Compared to 19th-century Neapolitan painting and the Posillipo School, to which he clearly draws, Cordua introduces a more contemporary sensibility in this painting. This is particularly evident in the formal aspect of the impressionistic approach, which seeks to capture every subtle vibration of color, light, and atmosphere. Thus, the pictorial film becomes extremely lively and alive, in a landscape lyricism that thrives not only on the perfection of the naturalistic rendering, but also on the expressive power of color and painterly gesture.

As we can see from his works, the artist Carlo Cordua drew on popular landscape and vedutism. His influences are in the Posillipo School, which he, however, interprets with a more objective vision, in a realist and narrative pictorial style.
