Lorenzo Palazzi - After the Hunt

The "Still Life" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the "Still Life" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory element. In this work, Lorenzo Palazzi draws inspiration from still lifes characterized by elements of game.

Lorenzo Palazzi's pictorial style is closely connected to the artist's formative years, the Labronica School, which developed a highly refined style of landscape and genre painting based on the influences of Post-Impressionism and Post-Macchiaiolism. Indeed, the entire compositional structure of Palazzi's works is based on an extremely rapid, cursive brushstroke that sketches the subjects with a few rapid strokes. The sense of immediacy in the rendering is striking. Likewise, the importance of color is notable, with its denseness, and some brushstrokes filled with a light-giving white.

Lorenzo Palazzi was a painter from Livorno, born in 1921 and died in 1990. He trained under the guidance of his grandfather, Professor Anselmi, a restorer at the National Museums. His entire artistic career was marked by genre painting typical of Livorno, achieving considerable critical and public success. Palazzi participated in the first Quadriennale dell'Arte in Turin and subsequently in the 2000 International Art Fair in Bologna.
