Product description
Oil painting on panel depicting a seascape, created by Fausto Pratella in the 1950s. W 73 cm, H 53 cm. Fausto Pratella (Naples, 1905 – 1964) was an Italian painter who carried forward the great tradition of the Neapolitan landscape school with a more modern and intimate sensibility. Born into an artistic family (his father was the celebrated Attilio Pratella and his brother Paolo was also a painter), Fausto managed to carve out a significant role for himself not only as the heir to an important surname, but as a poetic interpreter of Mediterranean light. While his father Attilio was the master of vibrant, lively views with strong contrasts, Fausto chose a more subdued approach; his painting falls within the vein of late Impressionism. His brushstrokes are less fragmented than his father's, tending to create more homogeneous surfaces and almost suspended atmospheres. His palette is delicate, dominated by dusty blues, pearly greys, and pastel tones. He is a painter of "half-light," capable of capturing the humidity of the air over the sea or the stillness of a sunny afternoon. Compared to 19th-century Neapolitan painting, Fausto's works are often more solitary. Even when he portrays iconic places, he does so with an emotional detachment that almost recalls metaphysical painting filtered through realism.
