Pietro Cavallero - Landscape with Boats

The landscape that artist Pietro Cavallero wishes to depict is that of a riverbank, where boats are stationary. The image on the canvas is delineated by a simple drawing that becomes immediate in its representation. Cavallero is an interpreter of figurative painting that tends towards the naive, that is, a painting that simplifies forms and is approximate, a characteristic of those who are usually self-taught. Landscape. The landscape becomes the protagonist of the canvas's representation, becoming the subject itself. Each historical period has provided 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 16th century; up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Pietro Cavallero interprets the river landscape with a luminous surface and intense colors in shades of gold and blue. The resulting depth is natural and harmonious with the forms. The shapes and volumes of the objects are well-balanced, conveying a sense of serenity. The landscape's space has good pictorial proportions, which are conveyed with a restraining light.

Pietro Cavallero was a controversial figure. In the late 1960s, he was implicated in a series of crimes, including robberies and kidnappings. After he was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment in Porto Azzurro, art became his means of redemption. His pictorial production, with naive tendencies, also reveals a picturesque flair. In his formal interpretation, we see a clear impressionistic influence in his brushstrokes.
