Description of the work
Description of the work
The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones. The artist Fernando Botero, in his artistic production, has reworked the genre scene in a grotesque and caricatural vein. He has invented a world populated by charming, flesh-and-blood characters, depicted in a wide variety of poses and situations.
This beautiful copy fully reflects the aesthetic developed by Colombian-born artist Fernando Botero. The fundamental component of his paintings is an objectivity rooted in a typically South American "magical realism." Botero has constructed his own pictorial world along this line, interpreting the exaltation of plasticity typical of objective figurative art in a decidedly sarcastic and grotesque manner. Thus, his works are populated by his unmistakable plump characters, and the dryness of his style, which would normally create a cold and metaphysical atmosphere, is completely tempered by this aesthetic of abundance and rounded volumes, which becomes a truly plastic representation of the joy of living and happiness in small things.
The artist who created this copy reproduced by Botero is, without a doubt, an artist with excellent academic training, who is endowed with an excellent technique that allows him to perfectly reproduce the style of the Colombian master.
