Curti - The Maples

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.

The painting was created with a remarkable Impressionist technique. The artist uses rapid, hatched brushstrokes to quickly delineate shapes and volumes. This allows him to capture, with every single brushstroke, the effects of light and atmosphere on objects, and to instantly convey a wooded landscape with precise weather and environmental conditions. The entire color palette is based on a specific tone, consistent across the entire surface. As with the Impressionists, the perspective grid is not eliminated; spatial depth is determined exclusively through color shading. Note how, in the background, the distant trees almost become patches of color, suggesting distance and humidity.

Due to his immediate and instantaneous rendering, his interest in atmospheric conditions and his use of tonalism in the creation of light and space, Curti can be considered a view painter, in whose technique, in addition to Venetian tonal painting, an Impressionist influence can also be seen.
