Marino Scardigli - Tuscan 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 a major aspiration for artists of every era. 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; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Marino Scardigli's artistic journey is equally dominated by instinct and compositional rigor. In his recurring subjects, tied to the countryside and peasant life, he fundamentally begins with a post-Impressionist pictorial style, in which brushstrokes construct forms and volumes through a complex intersection of planes. Each brushstroke is placed on a different plane, creating concrete, solid volumes. In this exploration of volume and balanced composition, Scardigli demonstrates his appreciation of Ottone Rosai. However, compared to the Florentine master, who favored clear, compact forms, Scardigli favors a more elaborate pictorial style aimed at capturing all the vibrations of objects, which are not only luminous and atmospheric, but also existential.

Marino Scardigli was born in Ponte Buggianese in 1921 and died in Pescia in 2005. He was a student of Ottone Rosai.
