Alfredo Stengher - Landscape

Landscape 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 16th century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism. Alfredo Stengher's landscapes are characterized by a sense of the sublime in the presence of nature, but in a more intimate version. His works are often conceived as large vistas in which the human presence, when contemplated, small and solitary, seems almost lost.

Alfredo Stengher's style, consistent throughout his work, is grounded in a keen sense of color and a direct, cursive application of color. With just a few touches of color, the painter manages to construct his subjects, ensuring a great immediacy in landscapes and life reproductions. It can therefore be said that Stengher's stylistic register undoubtedly stems from a distinct impressionistic influence, but this is taken to the extreme of immediacy and rapid execution. Thus, much like the Impressionists, Stengher captures the vibrations of light and atmosphere on objects, yet at the same time exerts a more pronounced synthesis of sensory data, achieving a highly lyrical representation of reality. Stengher's palette reflects this lyrical intimacy with nature and reality, adopting a chromaticism that avoids excess while remaining respectful of the sensory element.

Alfredo Stengher is an artist primarily focused on landscape painting, which he interprets with a very cursive and immediate technique, akin to post-impressionism. His underlying poetics are naturalism and realism, marked by an intimate lyricism and grounded in a synthesis of sensory information through color.
