A lyrical and evocative work, a mature expression of the pictorial poetics of Giovanni Omiccioli, one of the most beloved masters of the Roman School.
Description of the Work
This oil painting, titled "Sunset in Fregene," masterfully captures the ethereal, iridescent atmosphere of the Lazio coast at dusk.
Subject: The painting features a landscape view of Fregene, with a strip of land or a wet-dryer leading the gaze towards the horizon. The first floor features earthy, pastel hues, interrupted by vibrant touches of green and blue that suggest vegetation and water.
Colors and Technique: The real protagonist is the sunset light, rendered through a palette of pink, burnt orange, blue and gray that blend into the sky with a touch of lyrical impressionism. Omiccioli uses soft brushstrokes and a soft impasto to create a sense of dreamy melancholy and chromatic harmony, typical of his finest production.
