Description of the work
Description of the work
Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.
Pietro Sabbatini's works demonstrate the artist's post-Impressionist maturity. The composition, whether in the series dedicated to horses, a portrait, or a landscape, is compressed into the foreground, allowing no spatial depth. The painter's aim is not to capture the sensory aspect of the subject, but to capture its very essence, its substance. To this end, the brushstroke, rich in texture, intervenes, fleshing out the objects, breaking them down into different planes, recording the vibrations of light and life within them. The sensory aspect, therefore, is completely transcended in a complex conception of pictorial practice in which the artist's gestures themselves play a fundamental role. We also find in Sabbatini a certain tendency to structure things according to geometric principles that hark back to Cézanne. From a chromatic point of view, the entire surface of the work is in tune with a balanced range of references and correspondences with a predilection for earthy colours and subdued tones.
Pietro Sabbatini, a Venetian painter born in 1930, is an artist devoted to fairly traditional genres, such as landscapes, portraits, and equestrian figures. His style tends toward post-impressionism, with some influence from the French artist Paul Cézanne.
