{"product_id":"senio-pratesi-paesaggio","title":"Senio Pratesi - Landscape","description":"\u003cp\u003eLandscape 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eSenio Pratesi's eclecticism and experimental approach are so advanced that, in this view, he adopts a style somewhere between abstract and figurative. In this work, the representation of tangible reality means reconstructing the world according to geometric and rational principles. There is therefore a complete adherence to the mechanomorphism of the Cubists, but also to the dry, essential magical realism of Carlo Carrà or Ottone Rosai. Pratesi combines all of this with the ties to his homeland. Thus, his small villages become compositions of pure shapes and colors in which the lines of the streets and houses create a geometric rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eSenio Pratesi was born in Siena in 1926, but spent most of his career in Piombino, where he died in 2001. Pratesi exhibited for the first time in Siena in 1945, and it was precisely in the postwar period that he discovered the profound gap between his own culture and the avant-garde movements of the time. His pictorial research primarily focused on surrealism, but also explored more classical and traditional subjects, such as landscapes and floral compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sandro Campanini","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218105512322,"sku":"scam004","price":440.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/8a-misura-52x72-48x38-1-scaled.jpg?v=1768471190","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/senio-pratesi-paesaggio","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
