{"product_id":"s-benanti-pomeriggio-estivo-in-cortile","title":"Salvo Benanti - Summer Afternoon in the Courtyard","description":"\u003cp\u003e The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones. The painter Salvo Benanti, in his work, displays a certain taste for genre scenes of a popular and anecdotal nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eSalvo Benanti's work is underpinned by a highly classical and traditional taste. This results in an objective and highly didactic style. The approach to his works is figurative, and Salvo Benanti demonstrates his skill in achieving a perfect realistic rendering in a richly detailed representation. Nevertheless, the painter does not shy away from using a cursive style, composed of rapid strokes, to ensure greater vivacity and freshness in his execution. Thus, his brushstrokes display a certain level of synthesis, without ever compromising the clarity of the anecdotal narrative or the realistic subject, but just enough to infuse the scene with a delicate lyricism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eSalvo Benanti, born in Palermo on April 5, 1951, after attending the Art Institute of the Sicilian capital, attended courses in painting restoration at the Brera and Florence museums, and devoted himself to painting with a veristic influence. Cited in the specialized press and by Bosco, Miele, Forti, Marussi, Ungaretti, and Mendola, he participated as an assistant set designer in the creation of sets for major operas at the Ente Autonomo Teatro Massimo in Palermo. His works are held in private collections in various Italian municipalities. He is included in the most prestigious art yearbooks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pianese Nicola","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218631635330,"sku":"NPIA001","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/1681719568105.jpg?v=1768474997","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/s-benanti-pomeriggio-estivo-in-cortile","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
