Osman Lorenzo De Scolari - Landscape

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 always been an artist's aspiration. 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, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

In composing this landscape, Osman Lorenzo De Scolari abandons his usual painterly style to instead adopt a more lyrical language, in tune with the landscape he's depicting. Thus, instead of broad, dense brushstrokes, the painter employs a more calligraphic technique, composed of brief, impressionistic touches. Everything revolves around the tonal qualities of color, which, through subtle transitions, modulates light and spatial depth, unifying the entire surface of the work in a coherent, wintry atmosphere.

Osman Lorenzo De Scolari was born in Palermo in 1908 and died in Florence, the city where his artistic career unfolded, in 1998. His main output consisted of portraits and still lifes. His style ranged from traditional figurative art to more expressive pictorial explorations.
