L. Spadini (XX) - Marina

CRITICAL ANALYSIS AND ARTISTIC VALUE
This work represents one of the most vivid and luminous testimonies of Mediterranean Vedutismo in the second half of the twentieth century. L. Spadini, an undisputed master in capturing the refraction of light on rocks, gives us an iconic view of the Amalfi Coast imbued with the atmosphere of the Dolce Vita.
The artist asserts himself with authority in the path of the Salerno School, continuing the lesson of the great “Costaioli.” The composition is dominated by extraordinary chromatic dynamism: the crystalline blue of the sea, rendered with fluid brushstrokes, contrasts with the almost sculptural materiality of the rocks and the cliffside architectures overlooking the sea. The skillful use of material technique not only gives three-dimensionality to the painting, but allows the light to “vibrate” on the surface, changing intensity depending on the observer’s angle.
