{"product_id":"elvio-marchionni-strappo-n-19","title":"Elvio Marchionni - Tear No. 19","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe human figure has always been at the center of artistic research. Since the classical age, the naturalistic rendering of human anatomy has been a primary goal of painters and sculptors throughout history. The representation of the nude is the ultimate expression of this aspiration, pervasive across all eras and stylistic trends. Indeed, in addition to the naturalistic interpretations of the Renaissance and various classicisms, which aimed for a truthful and detailed representation of the human body, the nude has also been a central theme in the new aesthetic concepts brought about by the historical avant-garde movements, such as Cubism, Expressionism, and Surrealism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe work is extraordinary in demonstrating Marchionni's skill in artfully crafting an artifact that appears ancient, yet actually embodies an extraordinary contemporary aesthetic sensibility. Thus, this work also resembles an ancient mural fresco, entirely covered in a fascinating patina and with signs of decay masterfully inserted by Marchionni. Paradoxically, however, this ancient artifact offers a composition characterized by a strong metaphysical suggestion, precisely in its classical and medieval references and its atmosphere of silent and timeless enigma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eElvio Marchionni is an artist born in Spello in 1954. His entire artistic research is grounded in the recovery of memories and emotions from the past. His paintings and sculptures appear like fragments of torn frescoes, and references to fifteenth-century Umbrian painting, of which Marchionni is a great connoisseur. His sculptures presuppose a study of Renaissance harmony and proportions and evoke the allure of ancient artifacts. However, this process of recovering memory merges, in Marchionni, with a careful exploration of artistic language in keeping with a contemporary sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baesso Irene","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218710114690,"sku":"IBAE003","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/PHOTO-2023-06-21-09-51-22-1.jpg?v=1768475953","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/elvio-marchionni-strappo-n-19","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
