Luigi Brambati - Untitled

The "Still Life" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consists of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art the "Still Life" also becomes a way of interpreting reality, as it did for the Cubists or Giorgio Morandi.

This work highlights Luigi Brambati's full Expressionist maturity. The composition is compressed entirely into the foreground, allowing no spatial depth. The painter's aim is not to capture the tangible details of the fruits and flowers, but to capture their very essence, their substance. To this end, the richly textured brushstrokes intervene, which, despite the essentiality of the representation, flesh out the objects, breaking them down into different planes, recording the vibrations of light and life within them.

Luigi Brambati was an artist born in Castiglione d'Adda in 1925 and died in Milan in 1983. He trained at the Castello Sforzesco school. He exhibited his works at the Permanente di Brera and collaborated regularly with the Ponterosso gallery. He was primarily a landscape painter, drawn to lagoon views.
