{"product_id":"pompeo-mariani-senza-titolo-3","title":"Pompeo Mariani - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003eLandscape 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 16th century; up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism. The seascape in particular is a recurring theme among artists. First, for the lyricism implicit in views overlooking the sea or in romantic images of small ports. Second, because the depiction of aquatic surfaces allows painters to give free rein to their chromatic flair, thanks to refined interplays of reflections and reverberations. In this work by Pompeo Mariani, as in much of his artistic output, the seascape is the protagonist, even though the subject is combined with that of the genre scene and the social and realist dimension of the fishermen's work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe painting is highly representative of the pictorial quality of Pompeo Mariani, an artist specializing in seascapes. His primary interest lies precisely in analyzing the waves and the foam generated by them. And it is an analysis he conducts entirely with color. Indeed, he is a painter of his time (although very traditional in his choice of subjects) and adapts to the innovations of Impressionist painting. The entire surface of the painting is an atmospheric and coherent impasto of color in which we can distinguish the sky, the sea, and the distant horizon thanks to subtle tonal transitions. The cursive and rapid brushstrokes help the painter capture all the vibrations of light on the rippling surface of the water with a sense of great immediacy. And the light, as is typical of Pompeo Marinai's work, spreads almost blindingly throughout the pictorial space, transfiguring the landscape into an ethereal and transcendental image. The artist's palette, which is based on a decisive chiaroscuro, contributes to achieving this effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003ePompeo Mariani was born in Monza in 1857 and died in Bordighera in 1927. The grandson of the painter Mosè Bianchi, he began his career as a painter in the 1880s. In 1885, he exhibited in Paris and won a gold medal in London. In 1889, he was in Rome to paint the portrait of Umberto I. The royal family later purchased several of Mariani's paintings. From 1898, he began frequenting Bordighera, where he lived the last years of his life. In 1911, he exhibited his works in Buenos Aires and New York.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palombi Marco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215742710146,"sku":"MPAL001","price":3200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/PHOTO-2020-06-19-11-26-23.jpg?v=1768428697","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/pompeo-mariani-senza-titolo-3","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
