Pietro Cavallero - Farmhouse on the Lake

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a constant aspiration for painters. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Pietro Cavallero's artistic production offers landscapes of serene and calm naturalism. Characteristic and picturesque corners are interpreted by the artist with a rapid and immediate technique that lends freshness to the scene. The setting is essentially figurative, but the artist displays some impressionistic influences in his interpretation of the reflections of light on the water and the vibrations of the sun on the farmhouse. Light fills the space in a clear and clear atmosphere. And it is precisely this light that determines the space of the painting. The artist establishes the composition of the work in perspective, but it is through subtle variations in color tones that he regulates the distance of the objects, inserting them into a coherent and unified harmony. All these characteristics make Pietro Cavallero an extraordinary interpreter of an exquisitely classical pictorial style.

Pietro Cavallero was a notorious figure in the late 1960s for a series of crimes, including robberies and kidnappings. Sentenced to life imprisonment at Porto Azzurro prison, the bandit began a journey of atonement that led him to develop an interest in painting. Pietro Cavallero's pictorial production displays a classical inclination. In his formal interpretation, we note a certain taste for the picturesque, which translates into a clear impressionistic influence in his brushwork.
