Giovanni Bertè - Untitled

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones.

Giovanni Bertè stands out for his landscape painting, in which he seeks characteristic views and scenes, imbued with a distinctive lyricism. Hence his penchant for picturesque views and evocative framing. Formally, this translates into an impressionistic, highly animated and dynamic style that ensures freshness and immediacy of execution. His brushstrokes are therefore characterized by a remarkably cursive touch, made up of sudden flickers that effectively capture the vibrations of light on objects. The entire composition is imbued with a calm sentimentality and a freshness deriving from the artist's technical prowess.

Painter and graphic artist Giovanni Bertè was born in Fiorenzuola d'Arda (Piacenza) on December 25, 1950. He lives and works in Roveleto di Cadeo (Piacenza).
