Pierpaolo Soffici - Field of Poppies

Flowers as an independent subject began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers were depicted not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also became a way of interpreting reality.

This painter's style displays an extraordinary unity of drawing and color, aiming to achieve a highly poetic type of naturalism. Indeed, we can appreciate how the entire composition rests on a solid drawing structure in which clear volumes are inserted into a regular perspective space. The color, however, breaks up the rigid structure and, with extremely fine hatching, manages to capture all the chromatic and luminous vibrations of this view. Finally, the color scheme is composed of bright, luminous hues.

Paolo Soffici is a Tuscan artist who primarily paints landscapes. His painting style reflects the deeply poetic naturalism of painters like Michele Cascella. In developing his style, Soffici demonstrates excellent technical skill in both drawing and color.
