{"product_id":"ugo-riva-la-madre-2","title":"Ugo Riva - The Mother","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe iconography of motherhood is closely linked to the subject of the Madonna and Child. It is probably one of the most popular iconographies in the history of both Western and Eastern art. The Madonna and Child appears since the dawn of medieval painting and remained a constant subject as long as religious themes dominated artistic production (that is, until the 19th century, when themes inspired by everyday life began to be introduced). In this version by Riva, we are reminiscent of a Renaissance Madonna and Child in the variant that also includes the Infant Saint John.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThroughout his career, Ugo Riva's research has focused on recovering the art of the past and reinterpreting it with a contemporary sensibility. In particular, Riva has always looked to classical art—Greek, Roman, and Renaissance—as a model, which he reinterprets here in an elegant, classicist-style bas-relief. The artist's language, however, is contemporary. The form is synthetic, expressionist, and even the conception of space transcends the laws of perspective. Riva also reconfigures his model, applying his own personal poetics of the \"unfinished,\" leaving the bas-relief's surface as if barely sketched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eUgo Riva, a sculptor from Bergamo, has always favored figurative art throughout his career. Starting with a study of ancient classicism, he developed a masterful technique in the naturalistic rendering of subjects and anatomical precision. His attention later shifted to contemporary sculptors such as Manzù, Arturo Martini, and Marino Marini, developing a quest for expressionist values ​​and a poetics of the \"unfinished.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Accardo Raffaella","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56212868530562,"sku":"RACC002","price":8500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG_1160-06-12-18-08-56.jpg?v=1768407227","url":"https:\/\/venderequadri.it\/en\/products\/ugo-riva-la-madre-2","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
