SEASCAPE WITH ROCK AND TOWER AT SUNSET - RENUCCIO RENUCCI (1880 - 1947)
Oil on panel painting by Master Renuccio Renucci (Livorno 1880 – 1947)
Title: Seascape with Rock and Tower at Sunset
A work of notable suggestion and chromatic impact, typical of the production of the renowned Livorno painter Renuccio Renucci (1880-1947). The artist, known for being a student of Ugo Manaresi, knew how to combine the first divisionist echoes with a full-bodied, vibrant and elegant brushstroke, expressing himself best in small-format compositions that capture the essence of his beloved Tuscan coast.
Artwork Details
Technique: Oil on Panel, the artist's favorite technique.
Subject: A lively coastal seascape, probably a stretch of the Livorno coast or the nearby coast, dominated by an ancient tower or fort in the distance.
Atmosphere and Color: The painting is a magnificent example of Renucci's ability to render light. The time of day chosen (sunset or dawn) floods the scene with warm orange, red and ochre tones that dress the cliff.
Visual Dynamism: The contrast between the fiery rocks and the sea, rendered with a cold and luminous blue-grey, creates an effect of strong depth and lyricism. The light is reflected on the water creating a suggestive chromatic mirror.
Marine Details: Two white sails cut through the horizon, adding a touch of life and movement to the ample landscape composition, a recurring and much-appreciated theme in Renucci's production.
Conditions: The work is in excellent condition.
Added value This painting is not only a splendid testimony to 20th-century Tuscan landscape art, but it is also a collector's item that fully reflects the distinctive style of Renucci, an artist whose works are present in important private collections and have been the subject of retrospectives (such as those in Livorno in 1957 and 1977).
Dimensions: 69 x 67 with frame 55.5 x 53.5 cm the painting
Renuccio Renucci (Livorno, 1880 – 1947) was an Italian painter, one of the founders of the Gruppo Labronico. He began as a divisionist, influenced by the master Ugo Manaresi, and then developed a style with full-bodied brushstrokes and Labronian themes such as seascapes, boats and fishermen.
