Bartolo Gentiluomo (1973) - Aperitivo in giardino

Wonderful oil painting on canvas, measurements 30 x 40 cm h., by the painter GENTILUOMO BARTOLO. Substance, thick and full of charm...! It depicts a vibrant summer scene in which three women enjoy an outdoor lunch in a sunny patio, surrounded by a Mediterranean atmosphere. The work adopts a contemporary neo-impressionist style characterized by the impasto technique. The oil colors are applied to the canvas with dense, tactile brushstrokes, giving texture and relief, most visible on the background walls, on the foliage, and in the reflections of light on the floor. The scene is framed at the top by a large dark sun parasol that casts shade over the dining table. The three female figures surround the wrought-iron table, on which there are summer fruits, foods, and glasses of red wine or cocktails. Light management: there is a very strong contrast between the shadowed areas and the spots illuminated by the dazzling noonday sun, rendered in warm tones of yellow, ochre, and bright red on the stone floor and on the protagonists' outfits.
