Raffaele Maietta - Untitled

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.

Even in his depictions of urban landscapes, Raffaele Maietta stands out for his extremely cursive, fluid, and rapid brushstrokes. Despite this immediacy of application, the artist manages to give the composition a solid structure, basing it on architectural backdrops that create a clear spatial box. At the center of this space moves the same minute humanity that recurs in Maietta's work.

Raffaele Maietta is a painter born in 1930 in Ascoli Piceno. He is primarily focused on landscape painting, which he interprets with a very cursive and immediate technique, in keeping with post-impressionism.
