Chickpeas - A Glimpse of Chioggia

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 an artist's aspiration throughout the centuries. 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, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

The painting is part of a series of Venetian views by the painter Ceci. The compositions are very balanced. The painter creates a broad view through a classic use of orthogonal perspective. The use of color is crucial in constructing the view. While the sky in the background is compact, the buildings are constructed with fine hatching. Thus, the scene is composed with extreme detail while maintaining a sense of freshness and immediacy.

Ceci is a painter who bases his work on a very classical and traditional conception of landscape. His views are exquisite reproductions, full of detail, enlivened by his fine, impressionistic-inspired hatching.
