F. Pagliani - Pointing Dogs

Animal depictions in art have ancient origins, appearing even 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 life portraits, 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, the animal subject merges with that of the genre scene, meeting another widespread theme in the history of art: the hunting scene.

The painting displays excellent quality both in terms of composition and pictorial technique. The execution of the work exudes a classical air that harks back to the Italian pictorial tradition. The composition is highly dynamic, built on deep perspective and an ideal, harmonious balance between the foreground and the open background. The artist, in fact, depicts a large portion of landscape that fades naturally into the horizon. The painter masterfully defines space through subtle shifts of tone, framing the entire landscape in a coherent and unified atmosphere. Consequently, the role of light is fundamental, creating a suggestive interplay of shadows and nuances. This artist's pictorial style is meticulous in achieving a perfect naturalistic rendering, occasionally alternating with a more painterly touch to give greater freshness to the composition. The chromaticism is vivid and brilliant, resulting from a palette full of light.

As we can see from the execution of this work, the artist F. Pagliani stands out for his highly classical and traditional style of painting. His figurative language demonstrates an excellent technique in the rendering of sensory details, especially in the description of animal figures. Pagliani also possesses a more synthetic and impressionistic touch to lend greater freshness to the representation.
