Description of the work
Description of the work
The half-length portrait of a woman, a theme in Mariolino da Caravaggio's work, has its roots in painting throughout the ages. The portrait became a way of representing human anatomy in a natural and truthful manner, tracing the individual characteristics of the subject portrayed. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject was accompanied by a psychological one. Thus, the portrait became a means of in-depth analysis of the human psyche, focusing on character and the human state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation. The painting's style is strongly characterized by a drawn structure that marks and defines the figure. The painting, although fast-paced and frenetic, as is typical of the artist, does not diminish the woman in the painting. Rather, thanks to a skillful use of chiaroscuro, the portrait's forms and volumes become vivid and defined. The color, with its compact and clear rendering, enhances the drawing and makes the portrait stand out, also lending it a touch of personality. The synthetic and expressionistic nature of the artist's painting remains sensitive to reality, with a sense of plasticity, expressed in the defined volumes of the object on the canvas. 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.
