{"product_id":"michele-gregorio-cavallo","title":"Michele Gregorio - Horse","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eA noble animal, a symbol of beauty and harmony, the horse has repeatedly been a prominent subject in the history of art. Since the fourteenth century, its presence has always been obligatory in battle scenes and equestrian monuments, and painters have always found it a challenge to depict it with anatomical precision and naturalistic rendering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e In these drawings on paper, Michele Gregorio reduces his expressive means to a minimum. The artist forgoes color and relies exclusively on a line that constructs the subject with a few rapid, effective strokes. Despite this reduction in language, however, Michele Gregorio remains faithful to his research. The few marks drawn on the paper are intended to emphasize volumes, seeking that gigantism and swelling of forms that underpin the aesthetic of the Bari-born painter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMichele Gregorio was born in Bari in 1939, where he lives and works. He has created numerous public and private works, primarily for his hometown. Among his many works are the twenty-meter bas-relief for the Bari-Nord station in Piazza Aldo Moro, dating from 1965; the painted doors for the chapel of Santa Maria at the homonymous clinic in Bari, dating from 1968; his bas-reliefs from 1971 are located in the headquarters of the Istituto Case Popolari in Bari; the astral spheres at the Polytechnic University of Bari are from 1974; two bas-reliefs were created for the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute in Bari in 2000; in 2005, he painted an oil on canvas depicting Saint Nicholas for the Young Industrialists of the Province of Bari, now in the Vatican, which was donated to the Holy Father Benedict XVI on the occasion of his visit to the city of Bari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carrassi Patrizio Carlo da 2500 Portato a 400","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56212042678658,"sku":"PCAR003","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG-20180904-WA0005.jpg?v=1768403109","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/michele-gregorio-cavallo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
