Italo Petreni - Vineyard in Lipozzano

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 painter Italo Petreni is imbued with a profoundly lyrical sense of nature and landscape. Indeed, his work embraces a highly classical vision of representation, grounded in balanced spatial organization and harmonious composition of subjects. His execution is meticulously detailed and decidedly realistic, yet enlivened by his painterly approach. Petreni's brushstrokes are influenced by Impressionism and the Macchiaioli movement, and through color, he achieves a pictorial style full of light and life.

Italo Petreni lives and works in Colle Val d'Elsa, and the Tuscan landscape is the fulcrum of his artistic output. After his early experiments with informal art, the artist turned to a poetic naturalism. Italo Petreni's inspiration comes both from tradition, from Renaissance painting for its harmonious composition, and from the modernity of the Macchiaioli movement, from which he draws his appreciation for luminous, color-filled application.
