Natale Rosselli - Marina and Beach in Torre del Lago

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 16th century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism. Natale Rosselli's interpretation of landscape is the fruit of the distinctly Expressionist inspiration of his pictorial practice. Natale Rosselli's landscape is therefore synthetic and abstract, a place where it is not the sensory naturalistic elements that prevail, but the emotional and spiritual elements of interiority.

The work is a clear example of Expressionist landscape. Reality is interpreted in an extremely synthetic manner, with a remarkable reduction of sensory data. The representation is resolved entirely through color, whose application plays a clear structural role in arranging itself across different levels and reconstructing a complex space. The color is very full-bodied, and this prerogative allows Natale Rosselli to explore the volume of objects even within a substantially two-dimensional surface. Furthermore, Natale Rosselli's application is not only material but also powerfully gestural: he applies the paint almost instinctively, thus creating a direct relationship between his perception of the world and the landscape itself. Compositionally, the painting is resolved through a superposition of horizontal chromatic layers, dominated at the center by the intense white light of the beach. Above and below, the space is encompassed by deep blue-violet hues.

Natale Rosselli lives and works in Empoli, where he was born in 1940. He began painting as a self-taught artist, studying landscapes and developing an expressionist style of painting based on pure perception and gesture. His work was included in the Mondadori catalog "Tuscan Painters" no. 36/37. He has participated in exhibitions in various cities such as Forte dei Marmi, Mantua, Reggio Calabria, Trapani, Cortina, Empoli, Montelupo Fiorentino, and San Miniato di Pisa. He has held major exhibitions at the Galleria Civica in Padua, the Ta-Matete-Artiè gallery in Milan, and the Galleria Lazzaro By Corsi in Milan. Rosselli is represented by important galleries at Arte Fiera in Bologna, Padua, Bari, Parma, Vicenza, Montichiari, and the Principality of Monaco.
