{"product_id":"cesare-peruzzi-senza-titolo","title":"Cesare Peruzzi - Untitled","description":"The subject of the painting is a well-dressed man in a suit and tie, in caramel tones contrasting with a light blue shirt, formal yet casual in its presentation. His face is adorned with a pair of square-framed glasses, also matching the suit's tone. Furthermore, the few gray hairs on his head are barely accentuated but visible. What is striking is the man's austere and impassive expression, his eyes barely visible. This painting belongs to the portrait genre. Portraiture, from its earliest days, was always reserved for great figures, emperors, sovereigns, and wealthy members of the aristocracy. The facial expression, the desire to characterize the person's features, also highlighting their clothing and grooming, prove essential characteristics for representation, through various pictorial techniques from sculpture to painting. Over the centuries, especially towards the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, portraiture increasingly established itself as a means of examining everyday reality, also bringing to light the psychological aspect of the figure depicted. In Cesare Peruzzi's portraits, the intimate characterization is visible at first glance.\r \n\nThe figure's proportions are well composed, and the nuanced color palette accompanies the drawing. It's no coincidence that painter Cesare Peruzzi appears to be outwardly sensitive to the issues of light in his works, even reaching a pictorial lyricism reminiscent of 19th-century painting. Indeed, his connection to Impressionist painting is evident, with a brushstroke that is fresh in color yet also features a well-distributed paint texture. As already outlined, light seems essential to his work, and this is evident from the fact that the painter shapes and creates the figure precisely through the contrasts of light and shadow that are created on the man's face.\n\r \nCesare Peruzzi was born in Montelupone, in the province of Macerata, in 1894. Throughout his life, he lived briefly in other Italian cities before settling in Recanati. He attended the Istituto Superiore di Belle Arti in Rome and completed his studies only after the war. Returning to Rome to complete his studies led him to the French Academy, where he had the opportunity to hone his techniques with expert teachers, honing his skills in life drawing and the male and female nude. His artistic debut came in 1915, when he debuted in Rome at the \"Secessione\" International Exhibition, exhibiting alongside artists such as Degas, Cézanne, Renoir, Guidi, and Casorati. From 1925 to 1935, the artist practiced watercolors and distinguished himself from the painting of the time. In 1928, the \"Dictionary of Italian Painters\" published by the \"Dante Alighieri Publishing Company\" listed him among the notable artists from the Marche region. The artist's career would be filled with solo exhibitions and major awards.\r \n\n","brand":"Aniballi Laura","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56219292893570,"sku":"LANI002","price":800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/riga-2-fronte_57531a9d-d404-4490-a1c8-0da585517db8.jpg?v=1768479905","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/cesare-peruzzi-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
