A. Sorrentino - Vase of Flowers

Flowers as a subject in themselves began to appear in still lifes, a genre that emerged in the early 17th century. Subsequently, painters, especially the Impressionists, increasingly focused on the floral world as an extraordinary opportunity to capture vibrant colors and light. Thus, flowers began to appear not only in vases, but also immersed in their natural landscape. While initially a pretext for painters to attempt a photographic reproduction of reality, with contemporary art, the subject of flowers also becomes a way of interpreting reality.

In this painting, Sorrentino successfully combines warm naturalism with a lively painterly quality. The subject is faithfully rendered in its naturalistic style; the artist captures the reality of the flowers, the fragrance of their petals, and the tangible quality of the ceramic vase with its reflections of light. He achieves all this with a thick brushstroke that outlines the forms, placing them on multiple planes. It is a composition in which color plays a predominant role, giving form and structure to the subject.

The painter A. Sorrentino is an artist with a very classical background. His style, essentially figurative, is enlivened by a profound impressionistic influence, through which he manages to convey all the energy of color.
