Oronzo Fischetti - Ecce Homo

A popular iconography throughout the history of Western art, the Crucifixion has its origins in the early Christian era and has developed over the centuries, culminating in the most recent expressions of contemporary art. The traditional iconography of Jesus on the cross has countless variations, from the simplest, featuring only the crucified Christ, to the version accompanied by the "mourners," the Madonna and Saint John the Evangelist. In the Middle Ages, Crucifixion scenes began to become increasingly elaborate: thieves' crosses were added, and gradually more and more figures were added, until they became the subject of large choral scenes. It is often accompanied by symbolic elements, such as the presence of the sun and moon or Adam's skull beneath Christ's cross (which signifies the redemptive action of Christ's Passion in the face of original sin).

Oronzo Fischetti's paintings are characterized by a thoroughly naturalistic rendering, even when he's not painting landscapes. The artist seeks to capture the subject on canvas with a profound sense of reality, without compromise or idealization. This requires high technical skill on the part of Oronzo Fischetti, which must be found in detailed description. Fischetti seeks to convey the subject to the viewer, who can grasp every detail thanks to a stylistic approach that rejects excessive pictorialism and presents a clear and objective image. In particular, we note how this Christ is anatomically well-detailed and exalted in his plasticity. Thanks to Fischetti's objective technique, the figure appears sculpted and tangible in a three-dimensional space.
