Description
Giovanni Fattori approaches the named subject of Heuschober as a complete visual statement rather than a simple illustration. A considered distribution of form and space keeps the subject legible while inviting a slower reading of the complete image.
Color and light work with the underlying design, expressing Giovanni Fattori’s distinctive sense of pictorial order. Changes in density across the image help separate primary forms from supporting areas while maintaining a unified overall design. The result is an image whose mood and structure become richer as the viewer notices the connections between its larger and smaller passages.
A skilled oil reproduction gives the composition a tangible surface through layered paint and individually handled passages. This process creates depth and surface variation beyond printed reproduction, resulting in an artwork intended for viewers who appreciate patient, traditional craftsmanship.
