Gino Scalatelli (1870-1920) - Rustico
Gino Scalatelli's painting, titled "Rustic," captures a bucolic summer scene in a wonderful landscape. The vibrant colors of the watercolors dance on the paper, creating an atmosphere of serenity and abundance.
In the foreground, a group of peasant women is depicted talking in the threshing floor. Their garments, made of simple yet colorful fabrics, sway gently in the summer breeze. Each figure is characterized by joy and concentration, and their faces are illuminated by sunlight filtering through the green leaves of the surrounding trees.
Around them, the farm animals complete the scene. These details bring the scene to life, making it vibrant and lively. The leaves, in various shades of green, create a lush blanket that wraps the landscape, suggesting the richness of summer nature.
In the background, there is a watermill, a symbol of tradition and rural life. The wooden structure, with sails that seem to move almost in rhythm with the water, is painted in warm tones reminiscent of the sunset.
Scalatelli, raised in the early 1900s, managed to capture not only the beauty of rural life but also the deep connection between people and nature. His watercolor technique imparts lightness and fluidity, making the entire scene almost tangible, as if one could breathe in the fresh summer air and listen to the birds singing. The composition reflects genuine simplicity, a hymn to rural life and the beauty of a summer spent in harmony with nature.
The painting is shipped with an express courier, professionally packed with a frame and passepartout.
