Description of the work
Description of the work
The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. 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.
In both his paintings and his engravings, we can see the extraordinary technical prowess of Michele Cascella's artistic approach. In his works, the entire structure is determined by an intricate hatching technique that gives form to objects, creates volume, and measures space. The result is a composition that, in addition to demonstrating great draftsmanship, captures the vibrations of light on objects and their interaction with the atmosphere. However, the defining characteristic of Michela Cascella's work, whether painting or engraving, is the leading role played by color. Indeed, the Ortona-born painter's research has always focused on developing a precious, brilliant, and luminous polychrome.
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 both investigation and a precious lyricism of color. He remains faithful to a naturalistic approach, but his technique is dedicated to capturing all the chromatic and luminous vibrations of the floral world in his paintings.
