Ottavio Bomben - Untitled

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones.

Given the spontaneity and freshness of the subject, an anecdotal scene taken from everyday life, the artist strives to maintain the same immediacy in the execution. Although the work is, overall, highly figurative, the pictorial execution, determined by short, rapid brushstrokes, emphasizes the immediate nature of the episode.

Ottavio Bomben was a painter from Trieste, born in 1925 and died in 2006. His favorite subjects were horses. He was essentially a figurative painter, but with some expressionist influences.
