Alia - Torre della Scimia, From old Rome

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Era, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings.

For the artist Alia, the urban landscape is a pretext for creating compositional games in which the pictorial element merges with the relief. Thus, the surface of the work becomes a sort of inlay in which the artist alternates lines and rectangular shapes in perfect, harmonious balance. The use of quasi-monochrome and an accentuated formal synthesis further enhances this compositional choice.

The painter Alia, as we can see from this work, has found a particular form of expression that is realized in the union of painting and relief.
