C. Monti - Venice

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.

In this painting, artist C. Monti demonstrates his adherence to a landscape style, striking a perfect balance between realistic description and an expressionistic rendering of the view. Indeed, the artist's narrative of what he sees appears clear and objective, yet his language tends toward synthesis and abstraction. Everything is simplified to achieve greater expressive force, starting with the construction of space. The artist eliminates contingent data to reach the very essence of the reality he wishes to capture and convey to the viewer in a highly meaningful form. Formally, the painting also participates in the same process of synthesis, with large, dense strokes of color that construct the figures with just a few brushstrokes.

The artist C. Monti has focused his research on traditional genres such as landscape, but reworks his pictorial material according to a tendentially expressionist synthesis of sensitive reality.
