{"product_id":"g-mascarini-lora-del-the","title":"Giuseppe Mascarini - Tea time","description":"\u003cp\u003ePortraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eArtist Giuseppe Mascarini specializes in portraiture, which constitutes a significant portion of his work. In his approach to portraiture, which in Mascarini takes on a specific bourgeois dimension typical of art between the 19th and 20th centuries, the artist approaches a post-Impressionist vision of his subjects. Forms become more synthetic, somatic features become less prominent, and facial features are sketchy. Fundamental, therefore, is the structural approach that constructs the subject by arranging brushstrokes in a complex space on different planes. The brushstrokes, thick and dense with material, already take on the qualities that can be defined as expressionist, but in Mascarini the connection with reality and the recording of sensory data remains inextricable, and his scope remains exquisitely that of a realist pictorial style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGiuseppe Mascarini was born in Bologna in 1877 and died in Milan in 1954. After completing his technical studies, he attended the Brera Academy in Milan under the guidance of V. Bignami and G. Mentessi. He alternated portraits (Portrait of Mrs. Maria Luisa Grubicy, 1908, Milan, Galleria d'Arte Moderna) with rarer landscapes, appearing from 1898 at the Milanese exhibitions of the Permanenti and from 1905 at those of the Venice Biennale (1910, Ultimi raggi sulle Grigne).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galli Patrizia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56217954451842,"sku":"PGAL004","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/GALLI-4-GIUSEPPE-MASCARINI.jpg?v=1768469840","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/g-mascarini-lora-del-the","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
