Paolo Saetti - The Clock Tower

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and Modern times, 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. Artist Paolo Saetti's works are often inspired by Paduan or Venetian monuments in a creative graphic reworking.

In this work, inspired by the Clock Tower of Padua, artist Paolo Saetti takes on an even more experimental form. Formally, the subject is reduced to a more synthetic form, essential and primary. The expressionistic aspects of the artist's style are accentuated, and above all, the graphic elements of his language take on a new lease of life. The figure, in fact, is broken down and recomposed into a mosaic of lines that give the work a dynamic and evocative rhythm. The depiction of the building consistently reflects Paolo Saetti's abstract and expressive nature.

Paolo Saetti, born in Trentino but living in Padua, is a painter, sculptor, and poet. Specializing in Gothic-Latin paleography, he focuses primarily on sacred art. A founder of art circles and very active in the UCAI (Catholic Union of Italian Artists), he has had the honor of having his work exhibited internationally. His altarpieces, true masterpieces of art, are found in various churches in Padua and its province.
