Lanzetta - Siena Square

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. Lanzetta's work is dominated by glimpses and views of the city of Rome, in which he alternates true landscape painting with more detailed and analytical descriptions, typical of a vedutista aesthetic.

Compared to many of Lanzetta's works, which depict Roman views with a detailed and passionate narrative of the urban landscape, in this "Piazza di Siena" he displays a more specifically painterly and synthetic approach. The composition, though based on a diagonal cut, is not based on rigid perspective, but on a structural, highly diluted use of color. Indeed, it is the paint layer that constructs the space and objects in a highly synthetic style with a patchwork distribution. The painted surface displays a great tonal coherence based on green, where the various patches form a vibrant mosaic of varying shades of color depending on the varying intensity of light and shadow. The execution, therefore, is overall charged with freshness and immediacy, alive with luminous and atmospheric vibrations.

Lanzetta is a painter who primarily focuses on landscapes and views of the city of Rome. He alternates detailed descriptions of urban views in a vedutist style with more concise and immediate landscapes that reflect a certain impressionist taste.
