Giovanni Tribaudino - Deer

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. Among Giovanni Tribaudino's most recurring subjects in his watercolor work are evocative views of the village of Cervo in the province of Imperia.

Giovanni Tribaudino has masterfully interpreted the urban landscape, highlighting its characteristics in a vision with modern and original traits. This is evident in his views of Cervo: the painter begins with reality and transfigures it through the intense expressionism of his synthetic technique. Reality thus becomes a total pictorial vibration with decidedly existential overtones, the fruit of an exercise in pure perception on the part of the artist. Formally, this is expressed by maximizing the expressive potential of color. Tribaudino's refined sensibility manifests itself in recording the effect of light on objects, yet this exercise is carried out with a strong poetic sense that shapes the representation of sensory data. Thus, light almost dissolves objects, transferring them to the timeless dimension of memory. Light and color act in unison, and this means exalting art in a coherent representation that maintains its connection to reality while translating it into a highly lyrical dimension.

A master watercolorist, Giovanni Tribaudino (1901-1989) was an excellent landscape painter. Cervo, a town in the province of Imperia, was one of his favorite subjects.
