Claudio Cupellini - Chioggia

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Age, 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 Claudio Cupellini's city views and glimpses, as in the work here, the quotidian aspect prevails, the frank and sincere realism of everyday life in a village setting.

Claudio Cupellini's style presents a perfect fusion of realism and a delicate impressionistic rendering of sensory details. On the one hand, the artist precisely describes the view in all its details, with a strong sense of the city's reality and the everyday life of simple life. On the other, his refined painting technique allows him to convey a sense of immediacy to the canvas, thanks to a diluted brushstroke charged with atmospheric vibrations. Light thus reflects on objects, but without interfering with the precise depiction of reality. The entire view is thus characterized by a clear luminosity that is revealed, by contrast, in the play of shadows. The use of a palette of soft and delicate colors also serves this purpose. The framing, which places the viewer directly beneath the portico, is particularly evocative.

As we can see from an analysis of this work, Ferrarese artist Claudio Cupellini stands out for his use of a very simple and direct style that embodies a genuinely realistic conception of artistic creation. In his work, sensory data is not idealized but rather reproduced as it is in reality. For this reason, his figurative language draws on life-like reproduction but is distinguished by a certain impressionistic, spotty manner that brings vivacity and immediacy to the representation.
