Roberto Gherardi Art
Italian, Swiss, b. 1933
Roberto Gherardi is an Italian-Geneva painter born in 1933 in Ascensione in northern Italy, near Bergamo.
The post-war period being harsh, poverty strikes his family and forces him to immigrate to Switzerland in Geneva where he will work as a mason.
He will meet his wife there and start a family.
In his life of hard work he finds a loophole in painting.
He painted Geneva, Italian and other landscapes as well as characters with cold features that he would produce throughout his life.
His style is rather realistic with games of misshapen proportions.
He left a collection of 400 works, sold a few but never had the time or the means to devote himself fully to his passion because he had duties towards his family.
Here are the pieces from his collection, released after a 20-year hibernation in a private cellar.
We are happy to be able to offer them a second life thanks to you.to

Still-life painting as an independent genre or specialty first flourished in the Netherlands during the early 1600s, although German and French painters (for example, Georg Flegel and Sebastian Stoskopff; 21.152.1, 2002.68) were also early participants in the development, and less continuous traditions of Italian and Spanish still-life painting date from the same period. Still-life motifs occur fairly frequently in manuscripts, books of hours, and panel paintings of the 1400s and 1500s, such as Robert Campin’s Annunciation Triptych (56.70) of about 1425, and in Petrus Christus‘ Goldsmith in his Shop of 1449 (1975.1.110). Many of the objects depicted in these early works are symbolic of some quality of the Virgin or another religious figure (for example, the lily stands for purity), while other objects may remind the viewer of an edifying concept such as worldly vanity or temperance (as in the case of the goldsmith’s mirror and scales). Moralizing meanings are also common in independent still-life paintings of the seventeenth century, which range from such obviously didactic works as Jacques de Gheyn...
