{"product_id":"noel-quintavalle-cavalli-al-galoppo","title":"Noel Quintavalle - Galloping Horses","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe depiction of animals in art has ancient origins, even appearing in primitive cave paintings. For religious reasons, various types of animals appear in the works of various ancient civilizations. It was especially in the Middle Ages, within the International Gothic style, that animal depictions became widespread as true portraits from life, both within works of art and in notebooks of drawings and sketches. The presence of animals as subjects in art remained constant until the contemporary era. In this painting, artist Noel Quintavalle focuses his research on the figure of the horse. A 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 or equestrian monuments, and for painters, representing it with anatomical precision and naturalistic rendering has always been a challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe entire composition strikes a perfect balance between a naturalistic rendering of the subjects and an exaltation of the horse's inherent dynamism. This dynamism is accentuated right from the composition, which features a diagonal cut, appropriate for depicting the horses' race. The subjects' bodies are clearly delineated, structured by a bold black line. The artist's brushstroke, however, is very rapid and complex, full of vibrations that enhance the speed and dynamism in a decidedly expressive manner. The entire surface of the painting presents a perfect tonal unity of light browns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eNoel Quintavalle was born in Ferrara in 1893 and died in Milan in 1875. Self-taught, his career was largely spent in the Lombardy capital. He exhibited his works in numerous exhibitions both in Italy and abroad, achieving a certain level of renown. His pictorial production, which began as a pointillist style, was later influenced by the synthesis of modern painting. His favorite subjects were portraits and landscapes. The figure of the ballerina recurs frequently in his work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Corrente Marisa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215841177986,"sku":"MCOR001","price":2700.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG-20201211-WA0023-copia.jpg?v=1768429776","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/noel-quintavalle-cavalli-al-galoppo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
