Giorgio Pennazzato - A Mirror for Health

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Age, 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. In this Venetian view by Giorgio Pennazzato, however, the quotidian aspect prevails, the frank and sincere realism of everyday life in a city setting.

Giorgio Pennazzato's style can be defined as fundamentally realist, in the sense of a faithful transposition of what the artist sees with his own eyes. Yet at the same time, his interpretation is charged with lyricism, seeking the poetry that surrounds us even in the simple, everyday images of reality. In this Venetian view, the artist plays with the work's title, depicting the evocative image of the Basilica della Salute reflected in a body of water. Pennazzato's ability to find intense fragments of reality to transfer to canvas is enhanced by his pictorial language, always balanced between impeccable, detailed, lifelike representation and a delicate, impressionistic approach.

Giorgio Pennazzato is a painter originally from Mestre. His work stands out for its execution of traditional genres such as portraiture and landscape, reinterpreted with a lively poetic vein.
