{"product_id":"franco-fontanella-natura-morta","title":"Franco Fontanella - Still Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \"Still Life\" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the \"Still Life\" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory element. The artist Franco Fontanella's research also focused on the still life subject, creating various versions of it in his essentially hyperrealist style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eFranco Fontanella's style, both in his still lifes and in his landscapes, seems to tend toward hyperrealism. Indeed, one can see the painter's desire to objectively convey to the canvas, with cold lucidity, the sensory data before his eyes. The artist also demonstrates a fine technique, reminiscent of Flemish painting, in the precision with which he reproduces various materials and the effects of light falling on them. Despite their objective clarity and while avoiding overly accentuated atmospheric effects, Franco Fontanella's fresco technique is capable of naturally inserting objects into space, with a continuity and indefiniteness of contours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eFranco Fontanella is an artist originally from Osimo who lives and works in Porto Recanati. Self-taught, his innate passion for painting drove him to painting as a teenager. His career has evolved from Cubist influences to a love of fresco painting, continuing with the creation of master copies, and culminating in works inspired by classical art and hyperrealism, primarily still lifes and landscapes of the Marche region, with a particular predilection for views of the Conero Riviera.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alfonso Spinelli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218143129986,"sku":"ASPI001","price":850.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/1-FRANCO-FONTANELLA-CERTIFICATO-OPERA-copia.jpg?v=1768471449","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/franco-fontanella-natura-morta","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
