Rino Fioretti - Untitled

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. The majority of Rino Fioretti's paintings are dedicated to the theme of the Tuscan landscape. The protagonist of his works is the countryside with its villages and hamlets of small houses.

Rino Fioretti's artistic language falls within the Tuscan landscape painting movement led by Ottone Rosai and formally identified with the "Return to Order" phase. Following the experimentation of the historical avant-garde, the response was a return to the traditional values ​​of painting. In Rino Fioretti, as in Ottone Rosai, the "return to order" primarily signifies an exaltation of volumes and masses. For this reason, the landscape becomes pared down, devoid of detail, in a composition focused on creating a balanced interplay of forms. This interpretation of the landscape also draws on Quattrocento Florentine art, as we see from the harmony of the colors, the subtle chromaticism that characterizes the entire surface of the work. The exaltation of plastic and chromatic values ​​transfigures the landscape into a frozen atmosphere, where the forms have a rational geometric connotation. It is an aesthetic that possesses alienating accents, while remaining within the realm of phenomenal reality and, for this reason, can be associated with the pictorial movement defined as Magic Realism.

Rino Fioretti is a Florentine painter born in 1919. His pictorial production is distinguished by a rational landscape style that harks back to the Tuscan pictorial tradition represented by Ottone Rosai.
