Leon Giuseppe Buono - Sunshine in the Countryside

The work can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones. The Impressionists, in particular, favored subjects related to modern life in urban, bourgeois settings. The artist Leon Giuseppe Buono specializes in the creation of delightful genre scenes, set in lyrical countryside landscapes or romantic seascapes.

Leon Giuseppe Buono stands out for his landscape painting, in which he seeks characteristic views and scenes, imbued with a unique lyricism. Hence his penchant for picturesque views and evocative framing. Formally, this translates into an impressionistic, highly animated and dynamic style that ensures freshness and immediacy of execution. His brushstrokes are therefore characterized by a remarkably cursive touch, made up of sudden flickers, effectively capturing the vibrations of light on objects. This is particularly evident in the rendering of foliage and the chromatic vibrations of the thick vegetation. The entire composition is imbued with a calm sentimentality and a freshness deriving from the artist's technical prowess.

Leon Giuseppe Buono was an artist from Pozzuoli, born in 1887 and died in 1975. He was a painter who devoted himself primarily to landscapes and genre scenes, with a highly lyrical vision of phenomenal reality. For Leon Giuseppe Buono, translating emotions into images through a highly animated and cursive style inspired by Impressionism was essential.
