{"product_id":"lauro-bolondi-5","title":"Lauro Bolondi - Flowers","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlowers as an independent subject began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world, as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers were depicted not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also became a way of interpreting reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe artist Lauro Bolondi's style is characterized by a fully mature, post-Impressionist approach. His compositions are all constructed through color, and his brushstrokes have a notable structural value. The painter's aim is not to capture the sensory aspect of the landscape or still life, but to capture its very essence, its substance. To this end, the brushstroke, rich in texture, intervenes, which, despite the essentiality of the representation, breaks down the space into different planes, recording the vibrations of light and life in the subject. Thus, within a substantially two-dimensional surface, compressed in the foreground, the objects are constructed by the painter with broad, dense brushstrokes. Chromatically, moreover, the entire surface of the work is blended with a unifying palette, usually tending toward brown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eLauro Bolondi, originally from San Polo D'Enza, passed away in Milan at the age of 90. He was a very popular figure, partly because, in addition to being a painter, he was a fairly successful boxer in his youth, earning the nickname \"Alì.\" As a painter, he graduated from the Reggio Emilia School of Art and furthered his studies at the Brera Academy. His works, primarily depicting landscapes of the Emilian Apennines, enjoyed a following and success beyond Italy's borders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baradel Maria Rita","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56217878823298,"sku":"MBAR004","price":400.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/PHOTO-2021-04-19-12-50-40.jpg?v=1768469040","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/lauro-bolondi-5","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
