Emilio Navarino - View of the Waterfall

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 an artist's aspiration throughout the centuries. 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, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

In this painting, Emilio Navarino demonstrates his high technical skill in an objective rendering of the reality before him. First and foremost, the painting has a very balanced structure, with a solid drawing creating the spatial framework for the entire scene. Through drawing, the artist reproduces the nature that inspires him with a wealth of detail. In this work, we see that Navarino indulges less in pictorial effects: in this case, the artist sets aside atmospheric nuances in favor of a lucid objectivity of representation.

Emilio Navarino is a painter originally from Grottaglie, in the province of Taranto, where he was born in 1958, but currently works in Bologna. He demonstrates a solid artistic background: he possesses a remarkable technique that allows him to achieve precision and objectivity in the naturalistic rendering of his subjects. At the same time, however, through a personal interpretation of the pictorial layering, he manages to imbue his works with a suffused poetics, in what can be described as a figurative style with an expressionistic edge.
