Innocenzo Melani - Female Figure

Innocenzo Melani is an artist specializing in the depiction of women or romantic scenes in which the female figure is the protagonist. Especially in his photolithographs, he has created an ideal figure. His aesthetic is based on lightness and sweetness, not only in the forms but also in the clothes, almost always a brilliant white, and the large hats that almost conceal the female figures in a veil of mystery. The sweetness of the woman corresponds to that of the landscape through which she moves, whether seascapes or cultivated fields, which are also characterized by the prevalence of a light-filled white.

This work is typical of Innocenzo Melani's oeuvre. His favorite subjects are female figures, often portrayed in graceful poses and always dressed in a light white dress and a large hat. Innocenzo Melani uses a figurative artistic language and adheres to a completely naturalistic rendering of the female figure, free from any subjective interpretation. There is an almost photographic realism that captures every detail with the utmost care. Even in this photolithograph, however, one can glimpse the subtle pictorialism that distinguishes Melani's style. In terms of color, the painter opts for a monochrome that emphasizes the sense of sweetness and purity of the representation.

Innocenzo Melani was born in 1933. He is a painter who has chosen to devote himself almost entirely to female subjects, portraying them in various situations, always united, however, by a sense of unreality, almost as if they were images from a dream or a memory. His paintings today belong to private and public collections in the USA and Switzerland, Peru and Germany, Portugal and Canada, as well as in Japan, Austria, Norway, Spain, and Belgium.
