Sergio Difficili - Untitled

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 artist Sergio Difficili drew inspiration primarily from popular genre scenes set in rural settings.

Sergio Difficili is a prominent representative of the Labronica School, and his pictorial language is distinguished by the prevalence of color over line and a synthetic style of application that makes him one of the last representatives of the Tuscan Macchiaioli tradition. In his works, we can appreciate how his use of light, always through the tonal values ​​of color, is highly dramatic. As in Macchiaioli paintings, the light pervades the entire scene, clear, crisp, and unifying. The brushstrokes, extremely vibrant and dense with color, lend a remarkable freshness to the entire composition.

Sergio Difficili was a painter from Livorno born in 1925 and died in 2007. Although he lived in the 20th century, he is considered the last exponent of the Tuscan Macchiaioli.
