Aurelio Barbalonga - Boats in Cesenatico

Landscape 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 always been an artist's aspiration. 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 16th century, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

Aurelio Barbalonga's landscapes display remarkable technical and compositional skill. His subjects are constructed almost entirely through color, which he expertly applies with loose brushstrokes charged with luminous vibrations. In this way, his paintings acquire a marked immediacy and freshness, yet are accompanied by a remarkable realism in the depiction of nature and phenomenal reality, rich in detail and particulars.

Aurelio Barbalonga was born in Palermo in 1922 and passed away in Bologna in 2003. During the war, he was imprisoned in Greece and participated in the partisan struggle. From 1946, he established various cultural connections in France, England, and the Netherlands. In 1956, he founded an art school in the Marche region. In 1964, he moved to Bologna, where he founded the Schola Pictorum, which enjoyed extraordinary success. He participated in numerous exhibitions both nationally and internationally.
