Tranquillo Cremona
Confidences 19th century

1800s

About the Item

Watercolor on paper. Artist's monogram in upper left corner. Tranquillo Cremona, after an initial period close to Romantic painting, from 1870 onward moved away from the influences of Francesco Hayez and took up painting with undefined contours, elaborating with his friend Daniele Ranzoni the concept of " macchia scapigliata": after an initial intervention with brushes, he finished the works with his fingers to blur them, using all his fingers to render the maximum vaporousness to his paintings. This technique (which cost him his life due to lead intoxication from repeated contact on the skin of the colors) was compared by Camillo Boito to views of the magic lantern, when the proper focus of the lens has not yet been found: the image already stands out, but it is immersed in an almost aeriform vapor. The subjects of Tranquillo Cremona's works were always human figures, present in the historical-literary scenes of the Romantic period, as in the portraits and genre scenes of the Scapigliata phase; his subjects were taken from everyday life, in its simplicity and spontaneous immediacy, such as these three female figures depicted in a moment of confidential and intimate conversation between friends. The work is presented in a late 19th-century frame.
