{"product_id":"mario-cortiello-parigi-1965","title":"Mario Cortiello - Paris 1965","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant elements. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Mario Cortiello's style can be somewhat likened to a naïve approach, with a deliberately simplified interpretation of the subject. Formally, Cortiello is distinguished by a cursive brushstroke that synthesizes the figures with just a few strokes, making them even more immediate. In this pursuit of purity and simplicity, his palette is always distinguished by the clarity of tones derived from his association with the Lombard painter Umberto Lilloni.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eMario Cortiello was a Neapolitan painter, born in 1907 and died in 1981. He was a student of Gennaro Villani but distanced himself from his style after meeting Umberto Lilloni, who introduced him to Lombard Chiarism. He later developed a personal style, successfully renewing Neapolitan painting without departing from tradition: his Pulcinellas floating against dreamlike backgrounds earned him the nickname \"the Neapolitan Chagall.\" His works are held in numerous Italian museums, including the Ricci Oddi Modern Art Gallery in Piacenza.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amarante Letizia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218150732162,"sku":"LAMA001","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG-20220319-WA0006.jpg?v=1768471501","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/mario-cortiello-parigi-1965","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
