About the Item

signed and dated lower right 'A. Calcagnadoro 1902'. In this majestic view of the Marmore Falls (Umbria), dated 1902, Calcagnadoro exhibits a naturalism full of symbolic evocations, in which the water element is the protagonist of the view. The place, visited by many artists and writers during the grand tour of Italy, is perfectly rendered in its wild and bursting dimension. Son of art (his father Cesare Calcagnadoro was an appreciated decorator), the artist from Rieti worked for a long time in the field of decorative art, achieving his most important successes with monumental paintings for architectural environments (Rieti, Sala Consiliare; Ligurian Pavilion at the Ethnographic Exhibition of 1911; Salone dei Ministri in the Palace of the Ministry of Education). The fame he achieved through this type of activity led him to obtain first a chair at the "Scuola preparatoria alle arti ornamentali" (preparatory school for the ornamental arts) of the municipality of Rome, then at the Institute of Fine Arts, where he was in close contact with Adolfo De Carolis. In parallel with his work as a decorator, Calcagnadoro devoted himself with enthusiasm and greater creative freedom to easel painting, constantly presenting the results of his research at national exhibitions. After his initial attempts to explore the themes of antiquity, in the early years of the 20th century the painter turned to the 'humanitarian socialism' of Duilio Cambellotti, Giacomo Balla, Giovanni Prini and Domenico Baccarini. His socially themed works convinced critics and institutions alike, as evidenced by the gold medal he was awarded for his painting The Unemployed, a dramatic painting of denunciation exhibited at the Florence Promotrice in 1904. Perhaps in deliberate opposition to the rhetorical language of architectural friezes and decorations, Calcagnadoro presented himself as a painter of reality in the paintings exhibited at the Promotrice: a realist approach characterises all his paintings, including views, portraits and genre scenes, even when they are cloaked in Symbolist suggestions.
