Luigi Ridolfi - Untitled (Tuscan location)

The work depicts a stormy day in the Tuscan hills. Gray clouds cross the sky, transforming the landscape from sunny to gloomy. The color scheme conveys the idea of ​​a cold and dramatic moment. The work can be dated to the period between the 1960s and 1970s, when Ridolfi was confronted with the landscape of his homeland.

The artist chooses two distinct pictorial registers: while the sky is seamless and homogeneous, the garments are painted with a rapid and instinctive technique, almost recalling, in the filaments of color representing the ears of corn, Abstract Expressionism. The composition is symmetrical and linear, with a clear and distinct division between earth and sky, interrupted only by the two isolated farmhouses.

Luigi Ridolfi (1927-2019) is a leading exponent of the Painters of Reality, formed between studying the Impressionist masters at the Louvre and an adventurous life in the Foreign Legion and the mines of Normandy. A master at capturing the concreteness of reality through atmospheres of suspended calm, Ridolfi combined a recognizable classicism with a modern sensibility.
