Paolo De Caro - Trevignano

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Age, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings. In Paolo De Caro's city views, as in the present work, the everyday aspect prevails, the frank and sincere realism of everyday life in a city setting.

Paolo De Caro'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 emerges in a sudden break in the play of shadows. The use of a palette of soft, delicate colors also serves this purpose.

Paolo De Caro was born in Agrigento in 1935 and passed away in Ladispoli in 2020. He painted his paintings in acrylic oil, and was also the set designer for the films "SPQR" with Christian De Sica and "Se fossi in te" by Gioele Dix. In his work, sensory data is not idealized but rather reproduced as it is in reality. For this reason, his figurative language begins with life-like reproductions but is distinguished by a certain impressionistic style that brings vivacity and immediacy to the representation.
