Michele Cascella - Road in the Woods

Landscape has always been a central theme in artistic research, both as a setting, as a backdrop, and as a subject itself. The naturalistic depiction of landscape has been a major aspiration for artists of every era. Each historical period has offered its own interpretation of landscape, contributing to the evolution of its depiction: first with an exploration of space, through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance; then with atmospheric rendering in the sixteenth century; and finally with the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

In both his paintings and his engravings, we can see the extraordinary technical prowess of Michele Cascella's artistic process. In his works, the entire structure is determined by an intricate hatching technique that gives shape to objects, creates volume, and measures space. The result is a composition that, in addition to demonstrating great draftsmanship, captures the vibrations of light on objects and their interaction with the atmosphere. However, the defining characteristic of Michela Cascella's work, whether painting or engraving, is the prominent role played by color. In this "Road in the Woods," Cascella does not use one of his typical polychromes, but opts for a composition of cool colors, a rarity in his artistic repertoire.

Michele Cascella (Ortona 1892 - Milan 1989). A painter with a remarkable career, his works are exhibited in important museums both in Italy and abroad. He experimented with numerous techniques, but his greatest achievements were with his floral themes. Cascella's style of painting is both investigation and a precious lyricism of color. He remains faithful to a naturalistic approach, but his technique is dedicated to capturing all the chromatic and luminous vibrations of the floral world in his paintings.
