{"product_id":"franco-fortunato-citta-segreti","title":"Franco Fortunato - Cities and Secrets","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e Franco Fortunato's training was based on studying Tuscan painting between the 14th and 15th centuries. In this painting, the artist seems to replicate a typical late Gothic urban view, reviving the allure of its schematic order, irrational perspectives, and sidelong views. However, he contextualizes it within a contemporary aesthetic clearly rooted in Surrealism, through a nocturne of magical colors and a suspended, mysterious atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eFranco Fortunato was born in Rome in 1946. His artistic training was self-taught, studying 14th- and 15th-century Tuscan painting (Lorenzetti, Sassetta, Piero della Francesca) and the contemporary art of Magritte and De Chirico. The result was a completely personal aesthetic that reconciles ancient turreted cities and other traditionally medieval subjects with surrealism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recchia Beatrice 3000","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56211796590978,"sku":"BREC002","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/WhatsApp-Image-2018-05-02-at-11.16.10.jpg?v=1768401697","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/franco-fortunato-citta-segreti","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
