Infantry - Landscape

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and Modern Ages, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings. In this work, Fanti prefers to draw inspiration from the simple and immediate everyday life of a lively city scene.

The style developed by Fanti in his works highlights a post-Impressionist maturity. The composition is entirely compressed into the foreground, without any allowance for spatial depth. The painter's aim is not to capture the sensory aspect of the view, but to capture its very essence, its substance. To this end, the brushstroke, rich in texture, intervenes, which, despite the essentiality of the representation, fleshes out the objects, breaking them down into different planes, recording the vibrations of light and life within them.

Fanti, the author of this work, draws on a post-Impressionist pictorial language in his compositions. The sensory element is completely transcended in a complex conception of artistic creation in which the artist's gestures themselves play a fundamental role.
