{"product_id":"francesco-caraccio-ritratto-ragazza","title":"Francesco Caraccio - Portrait of a Girl","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003ePortraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eCompared to the ostentatious expressionism of Caraccio's easel works, this charcoal drawing presents a slightly different spirit. There's more attention to a natural rendering of the subject and, above all, a plastic consistency that's usually lacking. However, Caraccio's penchant for expressive distortion leads him, even in this work, to synthesize the subject's facial features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e Giuseppe Francesco Giannotta, known professionally as Francesco Caraccio, was born in Maruggio in 1958.
