Felice Vellan - Belgrade

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.

The work is part of a series of Graphics in which Felice Vellan uses a more synthesis
A heightened sense of phenomenal reality compared to easel painting. The subject is exalted in its plastic qualities and depicted with great realistic accuracy. But all this is achieved with a subtle, darting, and calligraphic line. The painter also uses a rapid hatching to further emphasize the play of shadows and washes of color to soften the objects.

Felice Vellan was a Turin-born painter, born in 1889 and died in 1976. He trained at the Accademia Albertina and later frequented the studio of Giovanni Guarlotti, from whom he inherited his passion for landscape. In Turin, Felice Vellan founded the Evening School of Nude Painting and served first as a councilor and then as vice president of the city's Artists' Circle. He participated in numerous exhibitions, such as the Venice Biennale and the Rome and Turin Quadrennials, not only with paintings but also with engravings. He exhibited at the exhibition of the Society of Amateurs and Cultivators of Fine Arts in Rome in 1927 and at the Permanente in Milan in 1924 and 1931.
