{"product_id":"gregorio-sciltian-inferno-purgatorio-paradiso","title":"Gregory Sciltian - Hell, Purgatory, Paradise","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e The triptych features a series of three lithographs inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy, one for each canticle. For Hell, there is the very popular episode of Paolo and Francesca from Canto V. For Purgatory, the punishment of the proud is depicted in Canto XI. For Paradise, Canto VII, which features the Crucifixion of Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eGregorio Sciltian's style focuses heavily on enhancing the plastic qualities of his subjects. The painter highlights volumes, emphasizes them with drawing, and highlights them with even lighting throughout the composition. In this way, the surfaces appear to be made of some precious, shiny material. Precisely for the purpose of fully enhancing plasticity, Sciltian eliminates any pictorial effect, achieving a style that can be described as hyperrealist. In these works, being graphic works, the pure drawing that underpins the master's easel work prevails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eGregorio Sciltian, Italianized for Grigoriy Ivanovich Shiltyan (Rostov, 1900 – Rome, 1985), was an Armenian painter. In 1919, following the October Revolution, he left Russia and settled in Constantinople. His style took shape in the 1920s, when he returned to classical figuration, studying the works of the Italian Renaissance at the Academy and in the museums of Vienna. In 1923, he moved to Italy; he opened a studio in Rome and participated in the Second Rome Biennale in 1925. Roberto Longhi presented his solo exhibition at the Bragaglia art house. The critic emphasizes the distinctiveness of a painting style that revisits the Caravaggesque and Flemish traditions with a realism of impressive photographic fidelity: a lenticular perfection achieved with a compact palette and a technique borrowed from ancient painting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baisi Francesca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56213614363010,"sku":"FBAI001","price":10000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/Senza-titolo-1-1_73ac742a-b01a-4b30-a039-832e243e491a.jpg?v=1768410655","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/gregorio-sciltian-inferno-purgatorio-paradiso","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
