Carlo Di Stefano - Autumn Forest

Landscape has always played a leading role in artistic research, both as a setting and a backdrop, but also as a subject in its own right. The naturalistic description of landscape has been one of the greatest aspirations for artists of every era. Each historical period has given its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its description: first with a study of space, through Brunelleschian perspective in the early Renaissance; then with the rendering of atmosphere in the sixteenth century; and finally with the representation of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism. The artist Carlo Di Stefano from Bergamo specializes in the reproduction of woodland landscapes. The woods are the
preferred subject of this painter, who favors a stylistic approach that blends expressive lyricism with a perfect naturalistic rendering.

Carlo Di Stefano is a typical representative of academically trained painting. His formal quality is remarkable and refined in the representation of a landscape with a perfect naturalistic rendering. The composition, as often happens in his work, is compressed in the foreground, leaving little room for spatial depth. There is a precise atmospheric fusion, also thanks to the use of a faster and more cursive stroke in the description of certain details. A recurring element in Carlo Di Stefano's woodland landscapes is the presence of a body of water, from whose surface a dull light is reflected, with silvery (as in this work) or golden reflections. This light spreads across the entire pictorial space, imbuing the landscape with diaphanous glows. In this way, the naturalistic representation acquires a strong magical and spiritual component.

Carlo Di Stefano is a painter originally from Bergamo, the city where he was born in 1927. His work is distinguished by the representation of intricate forests rendered with great naturalism. But his research has focused in particular on the light that pervades these landscapes and imbues them with a magical poetic aura.
