Elvio Marchionni - Madonna of Divine Love

The iconography, inspired by the subject of the Madonna and Child, offers a classicist interpretation. The artistic language draws inspiration from classical antiquity, both Greek and Roman, as well as its revival during the Renaissance. All this translates into an execution whose primary goal is mimesis, that is, the human need to imitate and reproduce nature, that which surrounds us. Along with naturalistic rendering, the other fundamental concept, according to the parameters of Classicism, is the unity of the work of art, through a harmonious correspondence between all its parts. In this bas-relief, Marchionni draws inspiration from Renaissance art not only for the thematic choice but also for the interpretative approach. In addition to seeking a perfectly naturalistic rendering of the subject, the artist creates a perfectly proportioned and calibrated composition. As for the background, one might even call it a veritable citation: the inclusion of an orthogonal perspective, complete with a classical portico opening onto the landscape and joyful cherubs, seems literally lifted from a fifteenth-century altarpiece. Painter born in Spello in 1954. His entire artistic research is grounded in the recovery of memories and emotions from the past. His paintings appear like fragments of torn frescoes, references to 15th-century Umbrian painting, of which Marchionni is a great connoisseur. His sculptures presuppose a study of Renaissance harmony and proportion. However, this process of recovering memory merges, in Marchionni, with a careful exploration of artistic language in relation to a contemporary sensibility.
