Renzo Biasion - Urban Landscape

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Era, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings.

The print fully lives up to its high illustrative and didactic commitment to depicting a city view in every minute detail. It is a delightful scene with a certain rationalist feel. The technique, in fact, is extraordinary, in its rigorous perspective framing and in the highlighting of every architectural detail with both miniaturist refinement and geometric rigor.

Renzo Biasion was a painter, engraver, art critic, and writer. Originally from Treviso, he was born in 1914 and died in 1996. His literary and pictorial works primarily recounted the tragic experience of war. His most famous work was S'agapò, published by Einaudi in 1953. He collaborated as a journalist and art critic with several important newspapers (Gazzetta del Popolo, il Resto del Carlino, Corriere d'Informazione).
