Felice Bossone - Red umbrella

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 been a major aspiration for artists of every era. 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 sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

In depicting this lyrical urban scene, we can appreciate how Felice Bossone developed a highly distinctive and recognizable style. In the painting in question, the representation of tangible reality is transfigured into a reconstruction of the world according to geometric and rational principles. There is therefore a certain adherence to the mechanomorphism of the Cubists and Futurists, which Bossone, however, combines with a more lyrical and magical sense of reality. Thus, this view becomes a composition of nuanced and overlapping shapes and colors, along rational yet almost imperceptible lines, in which sunlight and its refraction create the geometric rhythm.

Felice Bossone was born in 1955 in Pago del Vallo di Lauro, in the province of Avellino. He attended the Art Institute of Naples with masters Verdecchia, Toma, Meo, and Pacilli, and later the Academy of Fine Arts with master Armando De Stefano.
