Ragusa - Paris

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, 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 painting shows us how Ragusa, the painter, interprets sensory reality in his work. In his composition, space is compressed, almost squashed, toward the center. There is, however, a sense of depth, indicated by a solid drawing structure that gives volume to objects and characters. Overall, the entire work has the character of an illustration, at least iconographically. Formally, however, the interpretation is extremely painterly, with the surface of the painting covered with a rough, tactile layer that enlivens the entire composition.

Ragusa, the painter, has a very lively and vivacious interpretation of reality. His subjects are shaped by remarkable creativity, and his compositions display almost the verve of an illustrator. At the same time, he is an artist who displays great pictorial and formal complexity.
