Gianni Visentin - Parrot

Animal portraits in art have ancient origins, even appearing in primitive cave paintings. For religious reasons, various types of animals appear in the works of various ancient civilizations. It was especially in the Middle Ages, within the International Gothic style, that animal depictions became widespread as true life portraits, both within works of art and in notebooks of drawings and sketches. The presence of animals as subjects in art remained constant until the contemporary era.

Looking at this work, we can fully appreciate the sculptural quality of artist Gianni Visentin. His extraordinary technique allows him to achieve a completely naturalistic rendering. The subject is meticulously crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Note, in particular, the care with which the plumage was crafted and the overall liveliness and freshness of the entire execution.

Gianni Visentin was a Venetian sculptor born in Tra Vettore di Rosà in 1938 and who passed away in 2010. A stay in Paris between the mid-1960s and the late 1970s was crucial to his artistic development, allowing him to come into contact with avant-garde art circles and movements. In 1997, he founded the Arte Positiva movement, which found its home in his studio-museum in Carpanè, where many of the artist's works are collected. Some of Visentin's works have been donated to illustrious figures such as John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, and Mikhail Gorbachev.
