Tristano Marchi - Reading

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an episode of everyday life that, apparently, lacks any significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones.

Tristano Marchi's artistic language is based primarily on a tendency toward realism, both in terms of subject matter and its interpretation. The choice of a simple subject, linked to a humble daily life, corresponds to the adoption of a modest, low-key pictorial language. The artist creates a domestic setting, and the composition has a linear and balanced structure. Marchi's realism is evident in not only contextual but also existential details, which indicate the permanence of values ​​unchanged over time. Technically, he achieves this with a lively pictorial style, while the chromatic palette, with its muted tones, reflects his intent to convey the values ​​of a simple existence.

Tristano Marchi is an artist whose work has always focused on genre scenes featuring people of working-class backgrounds. His work celebrates simple and humble values, crafted in a realist style with a lively pictorialism.
