Description : Ritratto del dottor Gianmatteo Spera

Oil on canvas. On the back there is the name of the portrayed character, the artist's signature and the date of execution. Ulisse Sartini, originally from Piacenza but who lives and works in Milan, is considered one of the most important living Italian portrait painters. In his production there are portraits of various popes, Italian and foreign political personalities, personalities from the world of entertainment and theater. He is considered by art critics to be a painter with a very high executive capacity, who also stands out in this portrait of an important Milanese impresario, resulting almost a photograph. The Renaissance setting of the portrait is also peculiar: the character is placed with a background that is very reminiscent of portraiture of the fifteenth-sixteenth century, with on the right a balustrade on which the marble head rests and surmounted by a red damask drapery, but above all on the left the vast and sweet landscape that opens the gaze towards the infinite. The work is presented in a contemporary frame.

Additional Information

Artist: Ulisse Sartini (1943)

Born in 1943 in Piacenza, Ulisse Sartini established himself as an artist of international renown above all for having painted portraits of famous people, kept in important private collections or exhibited in prestigious museums. Trained at the school of the painter Luigi Comolli, a pupil of Segantini, he was inspired by the masters of Renaissance painting, their technique and iconology, without however renouncing research in new fields. The Holy See commissioned him the portraits of the last three popes: John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis I, placed together with the depictions of past popes in the Basilica of San Paolo fuori le Mura. Among the other portraits made by Sartini, we can mention those of Padre Pio, Maria Callas, Renata Tebaldi, Joan Sutherland, Luciano Pavarotti, Mario del Monaco, Luciana Savignano, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Giovanni Verga; he also painted numerous works with a religious subject. His paintings are exhibited in the Vatican Museums, at the Scala Theater Museum, at the National Portrait Gallery in London, at the New Music Theater in Athens.

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.
