Pietro Virgilio Lietti - Landscape

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 always been an artist's aspiration. 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 16th century, up until the depiction of every single vibration of light on objects in Impressionism.

The style of painter Pietro Virgilio Lietti is essentially based on the structural function of color. The image is constructed through a dense network of thick, dense brush strokes. It is an almost pointillist technique, whereby the viewer's eye must reconstruct the image. In this way, Lietti creates a depiction charged with representative immediacy and, at the same time, rich in expressive vigor.

Pietro Virgilio Lietti was born in Monza in 1928. Born into an artistic family, he learned his first lessons from his father, Guido, a sculptor, decorator, and teacher at Villa Reale. He lives and works in Brianza, and it is primarily its landscapes that inspire his artistic output. His style draws primarily from post-impressionist poetics.
