Mariolino da Caravaggio (Forger) - Untitled

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

Mariolino Da Caravaggio's portraiture style is based primarily on a solid drawing structure. Through a highly defined line, the painter first creates the framework of the work, in which a clear linear system highlights the subject's volumes and plastic qualities. The artist's pronounced plasticity is further enhanced by the light coming from the left and is confirmed by the very compact application of color, which avoids overly painterly effects.

Mariolino Feraboli was an artist originally from Caravaggio in the province of Bergamo, born in 1923 and died in 1992. Better known as Mariolino da Caravaggio or the Forger, he was a painter specialized in the reproduction of author copies and still lifes; his works appear in numerous private collections.
