ARTIST MID-LATE 19TH CENTURY

THE ICONOGRAPHY OF THIS PAINTING CERTAINLY HAS ALLEGORICAL VALUES AND CAN BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYMBOLIST SPHERE BETWEEN THE MID/LATE 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURIES PRECISELY DUE TO ITS ALLUSION TO UNDERLYING MEANINGS.

IT IS A TYPE OF SUBJECT THAT CAN BE CONNECTED TO THE ARTISTIC LANGUAGE OF LATE NINETEENTH-CENTURY PAINTERS SUCH AS MOREAU, BOCKLIN OR PUVIS DES CHAVANNES, WHO, ALTHOUGH USING A SUBSTANTIALLY FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE, DEVELOPED COMPLEX ICONOGRAPHY, FULL OF SYMBOLIC, ALLEGORICAL AND, IN PARTICULAR, LITERARY REFERENCES.

THE PAINTING REVEALS A VERY CREATIVE SYMBOLISTIC AND EXPRESSIONIST VEIN. ON AN ICONOGRAPHY LEVEL, IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH A SUBJECT THAT CLAIMS TO REPRESENT REALITY, BUT RETIRES INTELLECTUAL MESSAGES, FULL OF CULTURAL REFERENCES. IF THE INTERPRETATION RECALLS SYMBOLISM, THE EXECUTION OF THE PAINTING PUSHES TOWARD EXPRESSIONISM DUE TO THE REMARKABLE SYNTHESIS OF THE INTERPRETATION.

THE SUBJECT IS DESCRIBED IN AN ESSENTIAL WAY, WHILE THE COLOR APPEARS DYNAMIC IN THE REPRESENTATION OF A TWILIGHT ATMOSPHERISM. IN THIS WAY, LAS CENA SEEMS ALMOST DEMATERIALIZED IN A TWO-DIMENSIONAL SURFACE, WHERE THE RELIEF IS PROVIDED EXCLUSIVELY BY THE VIBRANT PICTORIAL MATERIAL, GIVING THE WORK A VISIONARY CHARACTER.
