The representation of the body has been a favorite theme for many artists of the past and the late twentieth century. From this perspective, the nude was reserved exclusively for figures with a mythical or religious background. In the new nineteenth-century movements, particularly those of Manet, the woman was no longer a saint or a goddess but a normal woman who reveals herself in her nakedness. This gender shift would lead, throughout the century and the following one, to questions about the human figure, especially the female figure, exploring the representation of the body and its psyche. It is noteworthy how the painter Capaldo finds, in his works, the appropriate empathy for a figuration that goes beyond the image to convey something connected to the deepest aspects of psychology.\n\r \n\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Expressionist character, the very movement born in the mid-twentieth century that finds a spiritual and emotional tone in painting, is evident in Rubens Capaldo's canvas. The application of color, with its earthy tones, finds a representation of lifelike characters within a frame of agitated emotion. The elements of Rubens Capaldo's pictorial method are based on a precise aesthetic choice that reaffirms the dramatic tone of his works. The propensity for monochrome contrasts with a tendency for the painter's staged images to emerge with difficulty on the canvas, establishing a struggle with the pictorial material.\n\r \nArtist Rubens Capaldo was born in Paris in 1908. Originally from Campania, his parents had moved to the French capital in search of work, but were soon forced to return to their hometown of Naples. His artistic training was short-lived, as he soon had to leave night school at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples to join and continue his father's business; his father was a majolica craftsman. Although he loved ceramics, his true passion remained painting. Despite not having earned a degree, Rubens Capaldo taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in Benevento until 1973. His self-taught style belies the tenacity of a hard worker who pursued his passion, contributing to Neapolitan pictorial culture in the 20th century. He died in Naples in 1998.\n\n","brand":"Montanini Fiorella","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56219225981314,"sku":"FMON001","price":2000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/RIGA-1_f0c25656-b449-48e0-a9c2-8dda68140cff.jpg?v=1768479048"},{"product_id":"rubens-capaldo-senza-titolo-ritratto-femminile","title":"Rubens Capaldo - Untitled (Portrait of a Woman)","description":"","brand":"Boccherini Carla","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56220379742594,"sku":"CBOC003","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG_5965.jpg?v=1768490215"},{"product_id":"rubens-capaldo-senza-titolo-nudi","title":"Rubens Capaldo - Untitled (Nudes)","description":"","brand":"D'Auria Carmine 1900","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56220584575362,"sku":"CDAU002","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-09-at-14.58.50-1.jpg?v=1768491401"}],"url":"https:\/\/venderequadri.it\/en\/collections\/rubens-capaldo.oembed","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
