Pietro Pantino - Untitled

The subject falls within the genre scene category, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones. The artist Pietro Pantino specializes in the production of lyrical and sentimental genre scenes. His subjects are drawn from both the countryside, featuring hardworking peasant women in contact with nature, and the city, with a fascination for the elegant bourgeois world of the Belle Époque.

This work truly exemplifies the complex pictorial language developed by artist Pietro Pantino. In both his rural and bourgeois scenes, he completely dismantles the confines of the drawing, allowing complete freedom to the expressive potential of color. Thus, the figures are synthesized through a decidedly structural approach, constructed with broad, brief strokes of paint. His technique, in many instances, derives from post-Impressionist painting, which, in addition to conveying immediacy in execution, imbues the work with intense emotional and poetic vibrations. Pietro Pantino's paintings are true masterpieces of polychromy, shaped by the artist's ability to express his most intimate perception of reality through color.

Pietro Pantino is a painter originally from Palermo, where he was born in 1941. He creates almost exclusively genre scenes inspired by the fin-de-siècle bourgeois world or rural life. His pictorial language is also aligned with his favorite subjects, drawing inspiration from a post-impressionist style in the construction of the image.
