Giulio De Simone - Glimpse of Paris

The subject matter consistently reflects the inclinations of the painter Giulio De Simone, whose artistic career is closely linked to Impressionism. Urban landscapes and scenes of city life are typical themes of that pictorial movement. It is worth remembering that immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenzy of the city, the crowds, the traffic, and typically bourgeois settings.

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 city scene with precise weather and environmental conditions. The entire color palette, from the street to the sky, is precisely matched to the atmospheric conditions being depicted. As with the Impressionists, the perspective grid is not eliminated; spatial depth is determined solely through color shading. Note, on the right, the church, which appears as a shapeless, trembling mass, engulfed by the humidity and thick quality of the air.

Giulio De Simone is a painter born in 1936. He is strongly influenced by Impressionism, and much of his work consists of Parisian views that draw heavily from that style. In other works, however, he has also experimented with a more abstract, expressionist-inspired language.
