{"product_id":"cicala-fiori","title":"Virgilio Cicala - Flowers","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlowers as a subject in themselves began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers began to appear not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also became a way of interpreting reality. It can be said that the artist Virgilio Cicala dedicated his entire painting career to the subject of the \"vase of flowers,\" creating numerous versions with the absolute coherence of his artistic language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eVirgilio Cicala is one of those painters who truly achieves, in their artistic output, a perfect balance between mimesis and lyricism. Indeed, at the heart of his essentially figurative language lies, undoubtedly, a flawless naturalistic rendering of flowers. Cicala stands out for his flawless reproduction of each individual petal, even with a certain plastic consistency and a consequent determination of space within the painting. At the same time, however, the expressive power of his style lies essentially in his pictorial application. Virgilio Cicala's brushstrokes are lively, impressionistic in inspiration, ready to capture every single vibration of light and atmosphere on the flowers and the vase. Furthermore, his brushstrokes are dense with color, and his palette is always determined by a coherent tonal unity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eAs can be seen from his entire oeuvre, Virgilio Cicala is a painter with a solid academic background who, thanks to his excellent technique, manages to maintain a perfect balance between naturalism and a fresh impressionist flavor. He has dedicated his entire career to the theme of the \"vase of flowers,\" through which he has consolidated the perfection of his pictorial craft.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zalardo Elena","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215828136322,"sku":"EZAL001","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG-20201112-WA00331-copia.jpg?v=1768429565","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/cicala-fiori","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
