Mario Marzocchi - Urban Landscape

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Age, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings. In Marzocchi's city views, as in the present work, the everyday aspect prevails, the frank and sincere realism of everyday life in a city setting.

For artist Mario Marzocchi, depicting landscape means achieving, through painting, a delicate fusion between naturalistic rendering and poetry. Indeed, his views, in which he employs a purely figurative language, remain rooted in sensory data. Yet reality seems transfigured into a lyrical interpretation that almost transports it into a dreamlike dimension. Formally, this translates into a highly delicate pictorial style where the representation of reality occurs in a rarefied manner. This means that the capture of realistic details and particulars is lost in favor of a more expressionistic and symbolic language. Complicit in this approach is Marzocchi's refined pictorial touch, which synthesizes objects with great delicacy. Thus, the color palette is also distinguished by a delicate anti-naturalistic tendency, whereby the immersion in white and the exaltation of pinks, yellows, and violets express the artist's poetic sensibility and his almost dreamlike interpretation of the landscape.

Mario Marzocchi is a figurative painter who, through extensive research, has developed his own coherent and original language. His representations draw on reality, but through a delicate, symbolist pictorial conception, nature is transfigured into a poetic dreamlike dimension.
