Oil painting on cardboard by Raoul Viviani (1883-1965) depicting "The path of San Rocco (Camogli)", 20th century. Signed at lower left. On the back present title - "Il viottolo di San Rocco (Camogli)" - in pencil.
Viviani was a highly original landscape painter who tried his hand at oil painting but also at watercolor and etching; he came very close to Divisionist painting, however, developing his own technique, characterized by very thin filaments of color in the form of thin commas, which define the structures of his landscapes. With his move to Liguria, which made the landscape of that region the protagonist of his works, his technique changed, moving away from the original pointillism and opening up to a broad and sketchy brushstroke, which finally resulted in his last period in a production of still lifes with violent and contrasting colors. In the Ligurian period can also be placed this landscape, which proposes a glimpse of a well-known Ligurian locality, still rendered in Viviani's characteristic style, made up of brushstrokes in thin filaments, superimposed on patches of vivid color, in the chromatic ranges of the colors of nature.
