Vittorio Postiglione - Landscape 1 with Red Dome

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Era, 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.

The painter Vittorio Postiglione's style stands out in his distinctive cityscapes. They are always handled with a brushstroke and an almost calligraphic delicacy. Everything is based on color, within a substantially two-dimensional surface. The composition becomes a play of balance in the juxtaposition of different shapes and linear rhythms. The same play is repeated with color, with each shape featuring a compact hue. What emerges is a fading skyline, almost an ephemeral vision of unreal volumes.

Vittorio Postiglione is a painter who has devoted himself almost exclusively to urban landscapes, which he created with a highly personal style tending towards Expressionism.
