Antonio Sciacca (1957) - Apollo di Lentini

Antonio Sciacca
Oil on canvas 50x70
Title: Apollo of Lentini
Signed: front and back
In this oil on canvas, Antonio Sciacca pays homage to the glorious numismatic and classical history of Sicily, reinterpret­ing in painterly terms the famous effigy that appeared on the ancient coins of Leontini.
The painting celebrates Sicilian identity through one of its highest symbols: the perfection of classical beauty.
The inclusion of coral suggests that this heritage is not a dead relic of the past, but an organic and still pulsating element of Mediterranean culture.
The brushwork is confident and sculptural, capable of giving volume and relief to the profile as if it were embossed in metal.
The play of luminous reflections on the face accentuates the three-dimensionality of the image, making the deity almost alive and vibrant.
