Luciano Manara - Rialto Bridge

The subject of this painting may be connected to the genre of Vedutismo. Vedutismo originated in the 18th century and developed primarily in Venice. Vedutismo painters aimed to represent a landscape objectively and scientifically, placing it as the protagonist of the work. There are essentially two types of vedute: the realistic one, taken exactly from reality, and the "capriccio," a fanciful view invented by the painter. Vedutismo is a genre that continues to enjoy popularity in artistic production, revived by artists in new forms and new interpretations.

The work fully lives up to its high illustrative and didactic commitment to capturing the urban view in every minute detail. The technique is extraordinary, in its rigorous perspective approach, capturing every architectural detail with miniature refinement. The lighting, which cuts through the space in evocative flashes, is also beautiful. The true peculiarity of this work is that, upon closer inspection, we discover that the perfection of the buildings is actually constructed by dense hatching, making the objects come alive and vibrant.

Artist Luciano Manara, in his pictorial production, demonstrates a highly eclectic spirit. Indeed, the variety of subjects chosen also corresponds to a differentiation of stylistic registers. His language can range from the most classical and rigorous figurative to expressionistic experiments.
