Marc Sardelli - Landscape

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been an artist's aspiration throughout the centuries. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance, then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

In this oil on canvas painting, artist Marc Sardelli demonstrates his familiarity with a more impressionistic painting technique. One can see how the painting is constructed entirely through color on a two-dimensional surface, using rapid hatching. In this painting, as a true Livorno painter, Sardelli also shows his influence on the tradition of the post-Macchiaioli and post-Impressionist Livorno School.

Marc Sardelli was born in Livorno in 1930 and trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. His first solo exhibition was held in 1955, followed by exhibitions both domestically and internationally. From the mid-1980s, he began producing cartoons for the newspaper Il Tirreno. Between 1975 and 1986, he was director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Livorno and president of the Rotonda Prize. His oeuvre includes many works inspired by the Napoleonic period and he was awarded the title of official painter of the Italian Navy.
