L. Spadini (XX) - Marina

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