A Work of Suggestion and Memory
This fascinating painting by Renato Natali captures a moment of intense everyday life, immersed in a suspended and melancholic atmosphere, typical of his best production.
The work depicts three common figures (probably street bearers or vendors, judging by what they carry on their heads) moving along an earthy road, presumably in the landscape of his beloved Livorno or the Tuscan Maremma.
