Giuseppe Marchetta - Roofs of Rome

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Era, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, 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 frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings.

The style of Roman artist Giuseppe Marchetta manages to combine, in a highly personal fusion, realism and surrealism. The painter always seeks out glimpses of real life, episodes of everyday life, for his subjects. But the way these subjects are treated transcends into a dreamlike dimension. Marchetta's technique, to this end, consists of small touches of color, which simultaneously construct the objects but render them immaterial, lost in a dense atmosphere. Everything is lost in the decontextualized dimension of the mist, and the color palette is based on pastel hues.

Giuseppe Marchetta is a Roman painter who is part of the Via Margutta group. His entire output is characterized by real images, taken from the capital. These images, however, are treated in an immaterial manner thanks to the artist's distinctive brushstroke technique.
