Giuseppe Ricci - Piedmontese Autumn

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 constant aspiration for painters. 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 artist Giuseppe Ricci's style is highly recognizable: his key characteristic is the resolution of figurative representations in a stylistic register with vividly expressionistic overtones. Indeed, we can appreciate how the scene is depicted by exploiting the expressive potential of color. The drawn structure dissolves into a highly synthetic representation. The painted surface transforms into a shifting impasto of dynamic chromaticism, composed of bright, luminous hues. His brushstrokes are extremely rapid, intent on recording every single fragment of shifting reality on the canvas with immediacy. For this reason, Ricci's brushstrokes are extremely diluted, very thin, composed of transparent glazes that, while conveying sensory information with immediacy, also ensure a strongly lyrical and narrative interpretation.

Giuseppe Ricci, as we can see from an analysis of his works, is rooted in a post-impressionist style of painting. Indeed, in his artistic practice, the immediacy typical of a plein air concept combines with a desire to go beyond the mere sensory experience, achieving a representation of reality that is already expressionistic.
