P. Brancaccio - Scene of rural life

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.

Brancaccio's style presents a perfect fusion of realism and a delicate impressionistic rendering of sensory details. On the one hand, the artist precisely describes the view in all its details, with a strong sense of urban reality and the everyday life of simple life. On the other, his refined painting technique allows him to convey a sense of immediacy to the canvas, thanks to rapid brushstrokes charged with atmospheric vibrations. Light thus reverberates across objects, yet without interfering with the precise depiction of reality. The entire view is thus characterized by a clear luminosity that is revealed, by contrast, in the play of shadows. The use of a palette of soft, delicate colors also serves this purpose.

P. Brancaccio stands out for his use of a very simple and direct style that embodies a genuinely realistic conception of artistic creation. In his work, sensory data is not idealized but rather reproduced as it is in reality. For this reason, his figurative language draws on life-like reproduction but is distinguished by a certain impressionistic approach that brings vivacity and immediacy to the representation.
