Lanzetta - Untitled

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Age, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings. In Lanzetta's city views, as in the present work, the everyday aspect prevails, the frank and sincere realism of everyday life in a city setting.

Lanzetta's style presents a perfect fusion of realism and a delicate, impressionistic rendering of sensory details. On the one hand, the artist precisely describes the cityscape in all its details, with a strong sense of reality and a thorough desire to capture sensory information. On the other, his refined drawing technique allows him to convey a sense of immediacy to the paper, thanks to a rapid stroke, charged with atmospheric vibrations. Light thus reflects on objects, but without interfering with the precise description of reality. The entire scene is thus characterized by a clear luminosity that is revealed, by contrast, in the play of shadows.

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.
