Renato Longanesi - Sailing Ship

Paintings depicting sailing ships can be considered part of the genre scene group, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. In particular, the depiction of simple sailing ships, or other vessels, outside the historical context of a naval battle, began in the 17th and 18th centuries, influenced by travel and exploration of new continents.

Renato Longanesi's paintings are always interpreted with a delightful, didactic realism. The composition is highly detailed and rich in details, which serve to pique the viewer's curiosity. The painter's style is almost like an illustration, in which the composition is carefully crafted to enhance the narrative development and, formally, the entire structure rests on the drawing. In this way, Longanesi, through the essentiality of his representation, manages to highlight the lyricism of a narrative, adventurous pictorial style. However, the painterly quality is not lacking, which Longanesi expresses with a rapid application of color, lending greater immediacy and freshness to the representation.

Artist Renato Longanesi stands out for his use of simple and direct language, based on a realism with a very narrative flow.
