{"product_id":"sergio-baldieri-senza-titolo","title":"Sergio Baldieri - Crucifixion","description":"\u003cp\u003eA popular iconography throughout the history of Western art, the Crucifixion has its origins in the early Christian era and has developed over the centuries, culminating in the most recent expressions of contemporary art. The traditional iconography of Jesus on the cross has countless variations, starting with the simplest, featuring only the crucified Christ. In the Middle Ages, Crucifixion scenes began to become increasingly elaborate: thieves' crosses were added, and gradually more and more figures were added, until they became the subject of large choral scenes. It is often accompanied by symbolic elements, such as the presence of the sun and moon or Adam's skull beneath Christ's cross (which signifies the redemptive action of Christ's Passion against original sin). In the case of the work in question, the scene is elaborated in the form of a triptych, with Christ on the cross in the central panel. The side panels feature the figures of the \"mourners,\" the Madonna and Saint John the Evangelist. The triptych is foldable and features two other figures on the front of the panels, an archangel with a shield (perhaps Saint Michael) and another unspecified saint equipped with a lance (perhaps Saint Longinus).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn this painting, artist Sergio Baldieri confirms his stylistic prerogatives. He consistently seeks to synthesize the subject through a bold black line, filling the forms with dense, earthy tones. This work is particularly notable for its search for a subdued sacredness, with strongly folksy overtones that nonetheless accentuate its religious nature. Baldieri's interpretation, however, is consistently expressionistic: the synthesis of the subject is powerful, delving into the subject to eliminate excessive description and get straight to the essence of the representation. The type of expressionism adopted by Baldieri fits perfectly with the sacred nature of the work, accentuating its rudimentary, archaic, and primary features. The composition is entirely resolved in the foreground, where the figures acquire the expressive power of an ancient icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eSergio Baldieri is a 20th-century painter with an eclectic spirit and a penchant for experimentation. Sergio Baldieri's artistic language is aimed at synthesizing phenomenal reality. The world is reduced to a minimalist version, where the artist's gestural and instinctive brushstrokes take center stage. On a two-dimensional surface, Baldieri delineates the forms of his subjects with a nervous brushstroke. A form is delineated with just a few lines and a few traces of color. Even when it comes to color, Baldieri selects anti-naturalistic chromatic palettes, intended to further enhance the expressiveness of the painting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nobili Enrico","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56217938067842,"sku":"ENOB001","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG-4486-copia-scaled.jpg?v=1768469745","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/sergio-baldieri-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
