Serafino Carbone - Noon in Salcito

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and Modern Ages, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings. In this work, Serafino Carbone prefers to draw inspiration from the simple, immediate daily life of a small peasant village.

Serafino Carbone stands out for his genre painting, in which he seeks distinctive views, imbued with a distinctive lyricism. Hence his penchant for picturesque foreshortenings and evocative framing. Formally, this translates into a highly animated and dynamic pictorial style that ensures freshness and immediacy of execution. His brushstrokes are therefore characterized by a remarkably cursive touch, composed of sudden flickers that effectively capture the vibrations of light on objects. The entire composition is imbued with a calm realism and a freshness deriving from the artist's technical prowess.

Serafino Carbone is a painter who focuses primarily on landscapes and genre scenes, with a highly lyrical vision of phenomenal reality. Translating emotions into images through a vibrant, cursive touch inspired by impressionism is essential to the artist.
