{"product_id":"gregorio-sciltian-nudo","title":"Gregory Sciltian - Nude","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe human figure has always been at the center of artistic research. Since the age\u003cbr\u003e\n classical naturalistic rendering of human anatomy was one of the goals\u003cbr\u003e\n main works of painters and sculptors of all times. The representation of the nude is the\u003cbr\u003e\n maximum expression of this aspiration, transversal to all eras and\u003cbr\u003e\n all stylistic currents. In fact, in addition to naturalistic interpretations,\u003cbr\u003e\n typical of the Renaissance and of the various classicisms, which aim at a\u003cbr\u003e\n truthful and detailed representation of the human body, the nude was\u003cbr\u003e\n protagonist also within the new aesthetic concepts brought by the\u003cbr\u003e\n historical avant-gardes, such as cubism, expressionism and\u003cbr\u003e\n surrealism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e The work is an example of the sculptural production of Gregorio Sciltian. In\u003cbr\u003e\n In this bas-relief the artist directs his research towards volumes and the\u003cbr\u003e\n movement. This particular work demonstrates how classical training\u003cbr\u003e\n had by Sciltian was fundamental in his career. The artist pursues\u003cbr\u003e \nan ideal of pure, harmonious beauty, through the creation of a volume\u003cbr\u003e\n balanced, almost geometric within the composition, but which takes\u003cbr\u003e\n life thanks to a soft model that softens its shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Gregorio Sciltian, Italianization of Grigorij Ivanovič Šiltjan (Rostov, 1900 –\u003cbr\u003e\n Rome, 1985), was an Armenian painter. In 1919, following the Revolution\u003cbr\u003e\n October leaves Russia and settles in Constantinople. His style is\u003cbr\u003e\n forming in the twenties, when he returned to classical figuration,\u003cbr\u003e\n studying the works of the Renaissance at the Academy and in the Museums of Vienna\u003cbr\u003e\n Italian. In 1923 he moved to Italy; he opened a studio in Rome and participated\u003cbr\u003e\n at the II Roman Biennale in '25. Roberto Longhi presents his personal exhibition\u003cbr\u003e\n at the Bragaglia art house. The critic takes stock of the uniqueness of a painting\u003cbr\u003e\n which recovers the Caravaggio and Flemish tradition with a realism of\u003cbr\u003e\n impressive photographic fidelity: a lenticular perfection achieved with\u003cbr\u003e \na material with a compact and technical colour scheme borrowed from ancient painting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cattaneo Marco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218364117378,"sku":"MCAT001","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/image0_1319d09d-458c-4256-aace-abb1c6df8d1c.jpg?v=1768473045","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/gregorio-sciltian-nudo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
