Description from the seller
Piero Bertacco (San Donà di Piave, 1924–1984)
Interior with a Fireplace
Oil on canvas, signed at the bottom left.
Painting depicting a suggestive domestic interior characterized by the presence of a lit fireplace, a table and a chair, immersed in a gathered and intimate atmosphere.
The work stands out for a strongly tactile painting and for a loose and visible brushstroke, through which Bertacco builds the environment by overlapping dark tones, ochre, browns and greens. The warm light coming from the fire constitutes the main focal point of the composition, creating a strong contrast with the shadowed areas of the surroundings.
Particularly interesting is the rendering of the painting matter, evident especially in the representation of the fire, the tabletop, and the objects present in the scene. The artist favors the perception of atmosphere and light over a meticulous description of the individual elements, giving the work an intimate and contemplative character.
Piero Bertacco, born in San Donà di Piave in 1924, trained at the Academy of Fine Arts under the guidance of Guido Cadorin and Bepi Galletti. His first solo show was held at the Galleria San Vidal in Venice. In 1953 he moved to Milan, where he came into contact with the artistic milieu tied, among others, to Mario Sironi and Spartaco Balestrieri. Returning to Veneto in 1957, he developed a personal artistic research dedicating himself to both painting and sculpture. During his career he exhibited abroad, including Moscow in 1961 and in several cities in the United States in the following years. (Antichità Missaglia)
