Lorenzo Albino - Towards the Fields

The subject falls within the genre scene category, 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. Artist Lorenzo Albino draws inspiration primarily from genre scenes with popular and peasant themes.

We can see how Lorenzo Albino adopts a decidedly post-impressionist pictorial style. He completely eschews the traditional drawing framework, allowing complete freedom to the expressive potential of color. Thus, the figures are synthesized through a fluid brushstroke, in which the entire composition is fused with the paint. This post-impressionist-derived technique, in addition to providing immediacy in execution, imbues the work with intense emotional and poetic vibrations. However, both in his choice of subject and his palette, centered on brown and earthy colors, one can observe a strong desire for realism in his execution in Lorenzo Albino's paintings.

Albino Lorenzo (Tropea, 1922 – 2005). During the 1950s, Lorenzo began to define the themes of his work. Between 1957 and 1960, he taught drawing at the Tropea Archiepiscopal Seminary. In the 1960s, he began to participate in and win awards at national and international group exhibitions (including in Paris, Deauville and Nice in France, Knokke in Belgium, and New York in the United States). He exhibited his works for the first time in a solo exhibition in Catanzaro in 1962. Until his last exhibition, the year of his death in 2005, he participated in over fifty solo exhibitions and over seventy group exhibitions.
