{"product_id":"giovanni-franceschetti-piazza-cortina-e-santa-croce","title":"Gilberto Francisetti - Turin, Piazza Carlina, church of Santa Croce (1718) Juvarra","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe subject of this engraving is part of the Vedutismo movement. Vedutismo is a genre born in the 18th century and developed primarily in Venice. Vedutismo painters aimed to represent a landscape objectively and scientifically, placing it as the protagonist of the work. There are basically two types of vedute: the realistic one, taken exactly from reality, and the \"capriccio,\" a fanciful view invented by the painter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eAlthough it is a monochrome ink drawing, the execution partially reflects the typical characteristics of Vedutismo. First, the setting is scenographic; the diagonal view framing the church of Santa Croce lends a theatrical feel to the entire work. But above all, the execution method is consistent with Vedutismo: the artist uses a quick, cursive stroke, roughly delineating the details and allowing their recomposition to occur in the viewer's eye. The artist of this ink drawing manages to soften the forms in the atmosphere, constructing the objects with a thin, black line that delineates the contours and, subsequently, softening the volumes with delicate shading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGilberto Francisetti was born in Turin on January 29, 1933. He frequented the studio of the painter Cardelli in Mantua, a friend of his father. From 1970, he was a member of the Les Chèvre group, founded by Biagio Biasi in 1954. He is a member of the Società Promotrice delle Belle Arti in Turin; since 1986, he has been a member of the Circolo degli Artisti in Turin. In 1981, he opened a studio in Turin on Via Buenos Aires, participating assiduously until 1999 in numerous group exhibitions and competitions in Italy and abroad. Critics have written about him: Borio, Bottino, Galvano, Graglia, Massara, Minucci, Mistrangelo, Oberti, Rossi, and Spinardi.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peirone Clara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56217760629122,"sku":"CPEI004","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/received_1840339682801552-copia.jpg?v=1768468272","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/giovanni-franceschetti-piazza-cortina-e-santa-croce","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
