Francesco Ros - Untitled (view)

The urban landscape depicted by painter Francesco Ros not only embodies the legacy of a long and prolific school of landscape painting, but is also enriched by an artistic sensibility and an uncommon capacity for observation. Landscapes, whether naturalistic or, as in this case, urban, have been and continue to be a significant pictorial genre. The tradition behind this genre is not yet exhausted and still retains essential traits such as the rendering of architectural elements, the atmosphere evoked by the view, and perspective. The rendering of these landscapes can be dictated by the emotional state of the viewer: it can range from the real and natural to the evocative and emotional, reaching peaks of abstraction.

The painting was created with a remarkable Impressionist technique. The artist uses rapid, hatching brushstrokes to quickly delineate shapes and volumes. This allows him to capture, with every single brushstroke, the effects of light and atmosphere on objects, and to instantly convey an urban landscape with precise weather and environmental conditions to the canvas. The entire color palette, from the road surface to the sky, is designed to reflect the precise atmospheric conditions intended to be represented in a perfect conception of plein air painting. The perspective grid is not eliminated, but spatial depth is determined exclusively through the modulations of color. In this work, Francesco Ros also presents a more synthetic pictorial style, and objects are delineated with sudden painterly flashes. From a chromatic perspective, Ros always stands out for his palette of light tones and pastel shades.

Francesco Ros is the pseudonym of Francesco Rossi, a painter born in 1950. Almost all of Francesco Ros's paintings are dedicated to the Milanese urban landscape, with its canals, views, and squares. His style is characterized by an impressionistic approach, characterized by very light color tones.
