Crystel - Spanish Steps

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Era, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings.

In this work, the artist's intention is clearly to create a suggestive snapshot of one of Rome's most emblematic landmarks. The artist's stylistic register is that of an intimate and subdued everyday life, which finds its poetics in small details. For this reason, the composition is highly detailed, with an objectifying pictorial style that favors bright colors.

The artist who painted this painting demonstrates excellent training, evident in his technical skill in depicting an urban landscape in detail. His figurative language is in tune with the poetics of realism.
