Filippo De Gasperi - Cairoli Square

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Era, 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.

The work is part of the artist's post-Impressionist production. The composition is entirely constructed through color, and the brushstrokes have a notable structural value. The painter's aim is not to capture the tangible details of the landscape, but to capture its very essence, its substance. To this end, the brushstrokes, rich in texture, intervene, which, despite the essentiality of the representation, breaks down the space into different planes, recording the vibrations of light and life on the subject.

Filippo Degasperi is a Milanese painter born in 1928 who is best known for his abstract works (he founded the Astrarte movement). Alongside this more experimental production are several works (landscapes, residential interiors) that draw on a more traditional style inspired by post-Impressionist movements.
