Rolando Nicodemi - Bottle with Cup and Bread

Following in the footsteps of this genre, the painter Nicodemi created still lifes featuring inanimate objects typically found in the natural world—baskets of fruit, flowers, and even objects reminiscent of everyday life—in their static state. This genre enjoyed a revival in the 17th century, not only intended to exalt painting but also to conceal certain philosophical concepts. This approach to reflecting on the pictorial and philosophical conception of paintings leads us to the Metaphysical art of the 20th century, where numerous artists questioned human existence through art itself. Artists such as Carlo Carrà, Giorgio Morandi, and especially Filippo de Pisis seem to have been the masters of the painter Nicodemi, who, in more recent times, has successfully translated the plastic lesson associated with a return to order and color.

Rolando Nicodemi approaches his painting with great rigor and simplicity, without neglecting aesthetics. The composition is well-balanced, with each object finding its proper place. The delicate painting also allows for shadows that enhance depth. This is complemented by delicate tones that accentuate the softness of the subjects depicted. The formal solidity also consolidates the objects on the table, creating a comprehensive and unconventional perspective of the table.

Artist Rolando Nicodemi was born in Ferrara in 1922 and died in his hometown in 2014. The distinctive character of Rolando Nicodemi's painting certainly has roots in twentieth-century plastic art, where movements such as metaphysics emerged, rediscovering the conceptual essence of still life.
