A Rio – Mixed media on canvas – Elio Lazzari

A Rio by Elio Lazzari is a mixed media work on canvas measuring 35 × 50 cm. A view of strong atmosphere, built with chromatic sensitivity and attention to Lagoon light.

In this striking work, Elio Lazzari leads us into one of the typical and secluded Venetian canals (a rio). The vertical composition accentuates the upward thrust of the imposing facades of the historic palazzi that line the sides of the waterway, creating a captivating play of theatrical wings and chiaroscuro.
The gaze is drawn by the deep perspective leading towards a small arched bridge in the background, while the moored boats in the foreground and the rippling reflections on the canal's surface lend extraordinary life and movement to the scene. The atmosphere is intimate, quiet and pervaded by a soft light that enhances the hidden poetry of the lagoon.
The palette is built on a refined range of neutral tones, pearl greys, browns and mauve shades, capable of conveying the damp air and light typical of the less frequented Venetian canals.
The handling is vigorous, rapid and strongly impasto; dense, assured brushstrokes model the architectural volumes and define the details of the windows and roofs with impressionistic synthesis.
A painting of great atmosphere and expressive intensity, perfect for collectors who wish to possess the most authentic and profound essence of contemporary Venetian vedutismo.
