C. Moraldi - Untitled

The work can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the representation
of an episode of daily life which, apparently, has no element
significant. These types of domestic subjects were long considered
as minor and began to spread, in Western art, only starting from
from the 17th century. Only with the development of the 19th century realistic currents
subjects of everyday life were considered of the same importance as
historical or religious ones. In particular, the Impressionists preferred
subjects related to modern life in urban and bourgeois settings, while,
in Italy, movements such as the Divisionists or the Macchiaioli, dedicated themselves
to issues related to work and life in the fields. This type of
tradition, especially the Macchiaioli one, is approached by C. Moraldi in this painting inspired by the life of fishermen.

Not only in the choice of subject, but also in Moraldi's pictorial language
It is linked to the Macchiaioli tradition. In fact, he uses a synthetic style
which determines the subjects in an extremely summary manner, but
certainly alive and deeply expressive. It is a type of representation
which looks to a post-impressionist artistic practice. Indeed, specifically,
in the elaboration of this work Moraldi seems to consciously cite the
Macchiaioli referring to that sense of solitude that is typical of the group
Tuscan. A certain difference, however, can be noted in the choices
chromatic. Moraldi's palette appears more expressionist
composed of vivid colors that distance themselves from the earthy tones of the
Macchiaioli.

As we can see from the analysis of this work, C.'s production.
Moraldi is a continuation of the post-impressionist tradition and
Macchiaiola. His paintings depict a popular and solitary world.
