Solo exhibition "Sacred Portraits" by Maurizio Meldolesi. 8 February – 5 May 2016
About
Paolo Sabbatini, Director of the Italian Cultural Institute in Cairo and Cultural Counselor of the Embassy of Italy, for the solo exhibition "Sacred portraits", 8 February – 5 May 2016
The painting of the young Maurizio Meldolesi is particularly appreciated for having achieved, in relatively early, a style immediately recognizable, consisting mainly in the ability to give life to the classical tune compositions with a marked taste for synthesis and for the harmonious balance between the parties, with figures marked by an incisive outline and transparencies and color illuminations refined, as well as the effective physical and psychological identification. The figures are placed within landscaped backdrops ample breathing space and the atmosphere clear and bright, immediately recognizable as the sweet Marche valleys, so celebrated by Raphael onwards.
