Catalan - Untitled

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones.

Catalano's work is underpinned by a highly classical and traditional taste. This gives his style a distinctly objective and highly didactic quality. The approach to his works is figurative, and Catalano demonstrates his skill in achieving a perfect realistic rendering in a richly detailed representation. Nevertheless, the painter does not shy away from using a cursive style, composed of rapid strokes, to ensure greater vivacity and freshness in his execution. Thus, his brushstrokes display a certain level of synthesis, without ever compromising the clarity of the anecdotal narrative or the realistic subject, but just enough to infuse the scene with a delicate lyricism.

Catalano is a painter with a very classical conception of painting, expressed in a figurative language based on a perfect, objective rendering of nature. His technique, however, displays painterly traits that give his works a particularly lively quality.
