Michele Cascella - 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.

The work is a typical example of Michele Cascella's pictorial output, revealing the extraordinary technical prowess of the Ortona-born painter. The entire structure is determined by an extremely complex, almost pointillist, hatching technique that gives form to objects, creates volumes, measures space, and, of course, records every minute perception of light and color. This hatching technique is also overlaid with a system of oblique lines, further complicating the composition. The result is a depiction that, in addition to demonstrating great draughtsmanship, captures the vibrations of light on objects and their interaction with the atmosphere.

Michele Cascella (Ortona 1892-Milan 1989). A painter with a remarkable career, his works are exhibited in important museums both in Italy and abroad. He experimented with numerous techniques, but his greatest achievements were with his floral subjects. Cascella's style of painting is simultaneously investigative. He remains faithful to a naturalistic approach, but his technique is dedicated to capturing all the chromatic and luminous vibrations of the floral world.
