Watercolor on paper. Signed lower right; at the bottom center the title and the date. The painting proposes the sacred scene of the Deposition in monochromatic shades of gray, softened and lightened by the use of watercolor. The sketched figures intertwine with each other in a convoluted way, creating a single volume of pathos and pain. The work belongs to the last productive period of Felice Carena: he used a lot of watercolor as well as oil painting, and he depicted numerous sacred scenes with this technique. The work is presented in a frame.

Additional Information

Artist: Felice Carena (1879-1966)

Trained at the Accademia Albertina in Turin, as a pupil of Giacomo Grosso, Felice Carena moved to Rome in 1906, entering the artistic and intellectual life of the capital. In 1912 he exhibited the works of the first Roman period at the Venice Biennale which would conclude the symbolist phase. Between 1913 and 1915 he opens up to the influences of French painting from Cézanne and Matisse which will profoundly renew his pictorial language. He actively participates in the First World War, as an artilleryman. Subsequently he moved to Anticoli Corrado, a small village on the outskirts of Rome, where Carena returned to the "real" with a search for greater constructive solidity and definition of volumes. With the advent of the 1920s, his works adopt classical accents and the subjects become genre scenes. In 1922 he organized an art school in Rome, attended by Pirandello and Capogrossi, and in the same year he attended the Venice Biennale. In 1924 he was appointed professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and taught there until 1945. He became an Academician of Italy in 1933. In 1945 he moved to Venice where he worked for the rest of his life and was part of the circle of twenty-seven Venetian artists called the Order of the Suitcase.

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.
