Description : Scorcio di Venezia

View of Venice by Ezio Pastorio, oil on canvas, 20th Century. Signed bottom right. Great master of the 20th Century Italian art, Ezio Pastorio has been able to renew the artistic language of the landscape while maintaining a strong link with the painting of the 19th century. Born in Cremona, from a family of collectors and antique dealers, he studied in Naples at the Institute of Fien Arts, in Milan in Aldo Carpi's laboratory, and in Bergamo at the Carrara Academy. Starting from 1941 he frequented the Val Seriana, which landscape will greatly influence his works. Although he preferred the pre-Alpine landscapes, the Garda hills and the countryside of the Lombardy region, he also loved portraying the intense atmospheres of Venice, so that he was invited to exhibit his works at the Biennale editions of 1948 and 1950. Presented in frame.

Artistic technique: Painting

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.
