Description of the work
Description of the work
Flowers, or plants in general, as independent subjects, began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the world of flowers and plants, as they offered an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers and plants 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 and plants also became a way of interpreting reality.

In the form and technique of this etching by Luciano Schiavo, we can sense the allure of an ancient tradition rooted in the engraving practices of the past. Indeed, our artist is driven by the same desire to achieve a perfect naturalistic rendering, expressed not only in the faithful recording of sensory information, but also in the seamless fusion of objects in space. These results are achieved with great skill by Luciano Schiavo, thanks to his excellent technique. We can see how the objects are depicted thanks to an extremely fine hatching that allows for the depiction of every minute detail. Furthermore, the artist achieves a plastic exaltation of concrete forms, further highlighted by the perfect use of light and delicate shading.
Luciano Schiavo was born in Magnago in 1946. He began his career as a self-taught painter and engraver in 1980, creating over 270 prints over the years. He has also participated in the following group exhibitions: "Il vino inciso," Volta Mantovana (MN) 2010; Biennial of Contemporary Graphics "Diego Donati Award," Perugia 2012/2013.
