Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers were depicted not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also became a way of interpreting reality.\n\r \nThis collection of watercolors demonstrates Senio Pratesi's ability to impeccably translate reality into his work. The works, with their extraordinary objective rendering, almost resemble illustrations designed to classify and study a botanical species. The beauty of this triptych lies in the scientific precision with which the subject is rendered. The drawing demonstrates extraordinary technical skill in capturing the image in every minute detail with a noble naturalistic intent. In this specific case, the application of color adds further value to the execution of the work, as the didactic perfection is tempered by the very light, transparent washes of diluted paint. In this way, the work acquires greater immediacy and freshness of execution, and the scientific precision of the representation comes to life thanks to the painter's touch. The choice of color range, simultaneously delicate and full of light, is truly remarkable.\r \n\nSenio Pratesi was born in Siena in 1926, but spent most of his career in Piombino, where he died in 2001. Pratesi exhibited for the first time in Siena in 1945, and it was precisely in the postwar period that he discovered the profound gap between his own culture and the avant-garde movements of the time. His pictorial research primarily focused on surrealism, but also explored more classical and traditional subjects, such as landscapes and floral compositions.","brand":"Sandro Campanini","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218105381250,"sku":"scam001","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/2a-acquarello-56x46-34x24-2-scaled.jpg?v=1768471187"},{"product_id":"senio-pratesi-paesaggio-con-cavallo-bianco","title":"Senio Pratesi - Landscape with a White Horse","description":"\u003cp\u003eLandscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn the execution of this work, it is clear that for Senio Pratesi, depicting landscape means achieving, through the medium of painting, a delicate fusion between naturalistic rendering and poetry. Indeed, this view, in which he employs a purely figurative language, remains rooted in sensory data. Yet reality seems transfigured into a lyrical interpretation that almost transports it into a dreamlike dimension. Formally, all this translates into a highly delicate pictorial style where reality is represented in a rarefied manner. This means that the capture of realistic details and particulars is lost in favor of a more expressionistic and symbolic language. Pratesi's refined pictorial touch, which synthesizes objects with great delicacy, plays a key role in this process. Thus, the color palette is also distinguished by a delicate polychromy with emotional and spiritual overtones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eSenio Pratesi was born in Siena in 1926, but spent most of his career in Piombino, where he died in 2001.

There is therefore a complete adherence to the mechanomorphism of the Cubists, but also to the dry, essential magical realism of Carlo Carrà or Ottone Rosai.
