Antonio Calderara (1903-1978) was an Italian painter known for his abstract and minimalist works, which focused on the interactions of color, light, and space. Initially influenced by the landscapes and light of his native Lombardy,

"Orizzonte" (Horizon), exemplifies his abstract period, where he explored the theme of the horizon line as a demarcation between space and light. These works are characterized by their simplicity, precision, and the subtle gradation of colors, aiming to evoke the ethereal and infinite nature of the horizon. Calderara's interest in the horizon line was not just as a physical boundary but as a philosophical and perceptual one, seeking to capture the essence of light and the immateriality of space.
