Giuseppe Caselli - Landscape

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

The style developed by Giuseppe Caselli in his works highlights a post-Impressionist maturity. The composition is entirely compressed into the foreground, without allowing any spatial depth. The painter's aim is not to capture the sensory aspect of the view, but to capture its very essence, its substance. To this end, the brushstroke, rich in texture, intervenes, which, despite the essentiality of the representation, fleshes out the objects, breaking them down into different planes, recording the vibrations of light and life within them.

Giuseppe Caselli, known as Pino, was born in 1893 in Luzzara and passed away in La Spezia in 1976. He trained first at the Academy of Florence, then in La Spezia he studied under Del Santo and Discovolo. For years he worked as an illustrator for the magazine L'Eroica and devoted himself to woodcuts. In 1913 he had a pivotal encounter with Lorenzo Viani, who, after his initial experiments with pointillist techniques, introduced him to an expressionist style. His paintings focused primarily on seascapes with strong emotional overtones.
