Riccardo Rinaldi - Rustic Houses in the Snow

Landscape 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 major aspiration for artists of every era. 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 sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Rinaldi, the artist, stands out in his landscape work for his exploration of characteristic views and scenes, imbued with a distinctive lyricism. Hence his penchant for picturesque views and evocative framing. Formally, this translates into an impressionistic, lively and dynamic style, ensuring freshness and immediacy of execution. His brushstrokes are characterized by a remarkably cursive touch, composed of sudden flickers that effectively capture the vibrations of light on objects. The entire composition is thus imbued with a calm sentimentality and a freshness deriving from the artist's technical prowess. Yet beyond expressing intense emotions, Riccardo Rinaldi also confirms himself in this work as an extraordinary realist painter, capable of capturing on canvas everything before his eyes with extreme precision.
