Davoli - Lake Garda - CVEN001

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 a major aspiration for artists of every era. 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; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism. The subject of this work is typical of Davoli, who has focused his research precisely on these views, where small picturesque villages overlook placid bodies of water, in a lyrical and idyllic vision of the landscape.

From a formal perspective, Davoli is very attentive to a naturalistic rendering of the landscape and possesses a confident technique that enables him to faithfully convey what he sees on canvas. The atmospheric rendering is flawless, yet the painter avoids overly dramatic painterly effects, favoring a glossy texture. Light permeates the entire scene, and the artist is also capable, with quick brushstrokes, of capturing all the luminous vibrations of the leaves or the surface of the lake. The work is also very balanced compositionally.

Davoli, a painter originally from Novara, displays a high level of academic technique. He remains faithful to a concept of art based on the imitation of nature and allows little subjectivity. His style is therefore highly realistic, yet shows some traces of idealization. His technique also yields to impressionistic hatching, especially when depicting the effect of light on objects.
