Renzo Magnanini (attribution) - Untitled

The "Still Life" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the "Still Life" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory aspect.

The pictorial language of artist Renzo Magnanini is inspired by a lively naturalism. He possesses a remarkable technique that allows him to effortlessly reproduce subjects, delineate them sculpturally, and achieve spatial depth. He is a painter with a highly classical bent, but his brushstrokes possess a profound impressionistic verve that gives his works immediacy and freshness. In this way, the reality conceived by Magnanini, thanks to the gesturality of his brushstrokes, takes on a decidedly existential character.

Iro Magnanini, known to all as Renzo Magnanini (Gonzaga 1920, Bentivoglio 2006), was an Italian painter and sculptor. He created many religious paintings, generally focusing on the representation of the human figure. He also painted many still lifes, as well as landscapes and floral subjects. He fought in East Africa in the 1940s. Returning from captivity in South Africa, in 1948 he resumed his artistic activity, a pursuit he continued throughout his life. His works are exhibited in the Basilica of San Domenico in Bologna, the Russian Museum in Yaroslavl, and the famous Russian State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.
