Many artists dedicated much of their careers to depicting this theme, Romano Mussolini being a prime example. Typically, the interpretation of this subject is similar for all artists who tackle it: the clown appears with his makeup designed to evoke laughter and hilarity, but instead displays a melancholic expression. This contrast is intended to spark an empathetic dialogue with the viewer.\n\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd width=\"780\"\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe painting was executed with great technical and formal skill. Compositionally, it is very balanced: the clown's face is perfectly centered. The subject appears slightly inclined, creating a diagonal compositional line that harmoniously separates the lower area, filled with the puffs of the costume, from the empty upper area, with a barely visible background. The painter's technique is also remarkable, managing with just a few touches of color to recreate the lightness and fluffiness of the clown's collar, the smudges of makeup on his face, or the reflection of light on his fake nose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e The painting was done by Rodolfo Soldi, a ninety-two-year-old painter still active, very popular in the Monferrato area. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bosso Alessandro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56211516522882,"sku":"ABOS001","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/20180117_165934-copia.jpg?v=1768400219","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/rodolfo-soldi-semza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
