Lucio Deverini - Rome

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 is worth remembering that 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. For Lucio Deverini, the primary subject of his pictorial production was the city of Rome, which he depicted in panoramic views or evocative glimpses of the historic center.

Lucio Deverini'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 urban reality. On the other, his refined painting technique allows him to convey a sense of immediacy to the canvas, thanks to rapid brushstrokes charged with atmospheric vibrations. Light thus reverberates across objects, yet without interfering with the precise depiction of reality. The entire view is thus characterized by an enveloping luminosity that is revealed, by contrast, in the play of shadows. This is also achieved through the use of a palette of warm, brown colors, somewhat reminiscent of the Roman School of the 1930s and 1940s.

Lucio Deverini's work has focused primarily on urban landscapes, particularly views of the city of Rome. Formally, he is a fundamentally realist artist, yet his lyricism also recalls the influence of the Roman School.
