Contrast of Light between Browns, Greys and Luminous WhitesAbstract
The subject of the following essay is a work by the painter Antonio Chierici (Reggio Emilia 1832-1920), who is only apparently little known as he did not actively participate in the innovative pictorial movements of his time; in reality, he enjoyed great fame, especially abroad where his pleasing works were much appreciated and even copied by esteemed painters. He took part in numerous exhibitions all over the world, winning prizes and recognition. Attentive to the play of light in poor but lively interiors for the figurines that inhabit them, one would be inclined to call him a ‘genre painter’ but such he is not because of the very high quality of his painting.
