Lucan Carpette - The Gleaners

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, 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.

The candid realism that artist Lucan Carpette proposes in his choice of subject is also reflected in his execution, which takes on a distinct freshness and spontaneity. This owes much to the artist's skill, who, despite constructing the representation with rapid, concise brushstrokes, nevertheless maintains narrative clarity and concreteness of form. Even in this popular subject, however, the great dynamism of Lucan Carpette's pictorial style remains unchanged: the entire composition is indeed lively and extremely vibrant. Even the choice of colors takes on decidedly expressionist overtones, with the intense blue of the sky predominating.

Lucan Carpette is the pseudonym of Luciano Angelini, a Roman artist born in 1928.
