Tonino dal re - Family on the Beach

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 highly eclectic and varied production of the artist Tonino Dal Re ranges from the recurring theme of cycling races to more intimate, everyday scenes dedicated to the rural world, all the way to truly surreal subjects.

Tonino Dal Re's style, consistent throughout his work, is grounded in a keen sense of color and a direct, flowing application of color. With just a few touches of color, the painter manages to construct his subjects, ensuring a great immediacy in both landscapes and genre scenes. It can therefore be said that Dal Re's stylistic register undoubtedly stems from a distinct impressionistic influence, but this is taken to the extreme of immediacy and rapid execution. In this way, just like the Impressionists, Dal Re 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. Tonino Dal Re's palette reflects this lyrical intimacy with nature and reality, adopting a chromatic palette that avoids excess while remaining respectful of the sensory element.

Tonino dal Re (Imola 1924-2010) A tireless participant in artistic and social life, dynamic, rich in imagination and human resources, Tonino Dal Re devoted himself to countless activities, while remaining primarily active in the artistic field, which also saw him engaged for a long time at the Ethiopian court of Negus Haile Salassie. Upon returning to Italy, he developed a new style, opposite to his previous choices, oriented primarily towards painting subjects belonging to a fantastical and surreal world, full of imaginative figures and horses in motion, racing, and unstoppable. In doing so, Tonino Dal Re demonstrated intellect and culture; he did not stop simply at observing with his eyes but also interpreted in his own way, with study and descriptive skill, what interested him.
