Ernesto Scudiero - Return from the Fields

Social themes in art began to gain prominence in the mid-19th century, coinciding with the spread of social questions throughout European societies. The work of painters such as Millet and Daumier, for example, favored subjects related to life in the fields, factory work, or strikes. In Italy, among the first painters to engage deeply with social themes were Pellizza da Volpedo and, in the contemporary era, Renato Guttuso.

Neapolitan by birth but a Livorno resident, Ernesto Scudiero successfully combines in his artistic language the Neapolitan taste for curious folk scenes with the post-Impressionist execution typical of the Livorno School. The brushstrokes are rapid and charged with dense color, while the scene's space is measured by the progressive shading of brown tones. However, Scudiero's cursive style is restrained just enough to fill his work with curious and realistic details, essential for imbuing the scene with a folksy character.

Ernesto Scudiero is an artist originally from Naples, where he was born in 1938. After graduating from the Neapolitan Academy, he moved to Livorno, where he pursued his artistic career. He has exhibited his work at numerous events, including in Elkhart, Indiana; Miami, Florida; and Chicago, Illinois, where his paintings are permanently exhibited at the Margie Art Gallery. He has also been featured in numerous catalogs and specialized magazines, as well as receiving various awards and recognitions.
