Description of the work
Description of the work
The iconography is inspired by the subject of the Madonna and Child with Saint Anne, offering 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, or 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 graphic version of his famous "Strappi," Elvio Marchionni favors a composition still inspired by the Italian Renaissance, but with a more markedly classicist bent. The artist engages in a typically fifteenth-century philological operation, consisting of the archaeological recovery of themes from classical Greek and Roman art. The interpretative approach also displays a pronounced plasticity, inserted into a Brunelleschi-esque perspective space, inspired by the research of Piero della Francesca, Paolo Uccello, and Mantegna. Marchionni, however, reworks the model, working primarily on the patina of antiquity, artfully producing the work's very degradation, which enhances its charm and value.
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 keeping with a contemporary sensibility.
