Simonetti - Old Paris

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.

In this painting, Simonetti demonstrates a pictorial conception inspired by post-Impressionism. In a composition entirely based on the tonal values ​​of color, the paint is distributed in diluted patches that synthesize the subjects through an almost pointillist technique. The resulting representation is fluid and iridescent in its bright, luminous colors.

Simonetti is a painter who focuses primarily on urban landscapes. His technique draws on a flourishing past, a distinctly bourgeois style of artmaking. For this reason, his technique is a conscious revival, in its style and themes, of a post-Impressionist language.
