PIETRO LIETTI - RICE FIELD OF THE COUNTS SFORZA

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 major aspiration for artists of every era. 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.

Artist Pietro Virgilio Lietti's aim is to offer a simplified interpretation of reality, seeking new values ​​of purity in representation. For this reason, his painting style can be described as naïve, yet expresses itself in a highly classical and traditional manner. His language is essentially figurative and finds its broadest expression in the traditional genres of landscape and still life. However, the artist manages to infuse tradition with his originality and personal touch, precisely through his pursuit of purity of representation that defines his style. Concretely, this is expressed in a fluid technique that resolves subjects with a few, quick but incisive strokes. Objects almost dematerialize in the lightness of the glazes. Even in terms of color, the artist favors decidedly pale tones, full of light.

Pietro Virgilio Lietti was born in Monza in 1928. Born into an artistic family, he learned his first lessons from his father, Guido, a sculptor, decorator, and teacher at Villa Reale. He lives and works in Brianza, and it is primarily its landscapes that inspire his artistic output. His style draws primarily from post-impressionist poetics.
