Mazzoni - Ballerinas

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones. Genre scenes, inspired by candid and sincere everyday life, also include the subject of the ballerina, a subject that boasts an illustrious tradition from Degas onwards.

Mazzoni's pictorial language rests on solid foundations recognizable in each of his works. First and foremost, an objective conception of painting leads the artist to depict phenomenal reality on canvas as it is perceived by his senses, without subjective filters. This approach is supported by an excellent painting technique that allows Mazzoni to achieve a perfectly naturalistic rendering. Physiognomic and anatomical perfection is pursued in every detail through a light, impressionistic application of color. As further support, the artist adds a balanced dose of incident light, which, striking the subjects, creates a natural play of shadows. Typical of Mazzoni is certainly his chromaticism, composed of brown tones that further enhance the effects of light.

Mazzoni is an artist who has focused his research on the female figure. He interprets this theme with an immediate style of painting, which could be described as impressionistic for its spontaneity and delicate lyricism. However, Mazzoni manages to enliven his works with a realism of delicate pictorial effects.
