About the Item

Capri-Faraglioni is a splendid print in etching technique engraved by Felice Casorati (1883-1963). The state of preservation of the artwork is excellent. Sheet Dimension: 38 x 26.4 cm Image Dimensions: 25 x 15 cm Original Hand-signed, F.Casorati, on the lower left; numbered 79/80, on the lower right. Felice Casorati (1883-1963): Italian painter, engraver, designer, set designer and teacher. He received a great deal of recognition throughout his career: knighted of the Legion D'honneur, gold medal for cultural merits by the Ministry of Education, full member of the Accademia di San Luca, grand officer of the The Italian Republic also receives the gold medal for professional merit in the Capitol. All of Casorati's thought is clothed in religious intimacy. On the occasion of the Rome Quadrennial of 1931 Casorati publishes "The Quadrennial of National Art" [6], a text in which he explains his artistic language. His works often give the impression of being petrified as sculptures and this is because, instead of seeking expression through color and sign, he rather wants to render "the value of form, planes, volumes, obtained by means of a unrealistic tonal color "[6]. The lights and shadows thus become important means of emphasizing plasticity, even if it is never clear where they come from, giving us the impression of a suspended, timeless and almost fantastic world. His painting, which is inspired by the dream and the figurative tradition of the Italian Renaissance classicism of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, has been approached by critics to the artistic current of so-called magical realism. The artist identifies the painting The Study of 1923 as the one that best expresses his "mental scheme" and his "spiritual vision". [7] The work was destroyed in the 1931 Munich Glaspalast fire.
