Urbano De Cupis - The blue boat

The iconography of this painting certainly has allegorical meanings and can be defined, in some ways, as symbolist precisely because of its allusion to underlying meanings. It is a type of subject that can be traced back to the artistic language of late nineteenth-century painters such as Moreau, Bocklin, or Puvis des Chavannes, who, despite using a substantially figurative language, developed intellectually complex iconographies, full of symbolic and allegorical references.

The painter Urbano De Cupis's style is highly personal and distinctive. His compositions are based on a highly accentuated pictorialism that places color above the design structure. The entire space of De Cupis's work is organized and defined by tonal transitions, accentuated by his vigorous brushstrokes. This creates overlapping bands of color that give the entire work a curved shape.

Urbano De Cupis was a painter born in Cairo in 1920 and died in Rome in 1975. He was a predominantly figurative painter, particularly focusing on landscapes. His technique is highly painterly, placing great importance on the tonal transitions of color.
