Beautiful piece of Italian painter Giuseppe Colin. The Inspiring reason is the famous Anghiari battle of Leonardo da Vinci. Giuseppe Colin: Was born in the Abruzzo region, in the town of Montebello sul Sangro in the province of Chieti in 1954. For some years he attended the Institute of Art in Rome. While rejecting its heavy academic dogmatism he immersed himself in his studies and, struck by the great master of the past, recovered their message and transported it onto large canvases, where the value of time is transmuted into emotions of a surrealist savour. Surrealism was in fact for Colin a transitory phase of formation, during which he succeeded in refining the technique necessary for getting his creative processes started. Later on he found himself experimenting and pursuing a new and very personal path that led him to Hyperrealism He has presented his works in important exhibitions both in Italy and abroad. In fact he lived, from 1978 through 1983, in various foreign countries, among which South America and the United States, bringing his artistic maturation to fulfillment. The teachings on perspective, the technical notion of color, the aware reinvention of the terms proposed by a still life, by a simple landscape and by a study of man and horse lie at the basis of Colins creative impulse. Of course mixed with all this there is the felicitous intuition of detail as background for the more symbolic. In 1992 he was called on by the Italian Prime Ministers office to exhibit at the palace of Arts in the Seville Expo 1992, together with other Italian artists in a showing entitled Some paths of Contemporary Art in Italy. In 1993, in the Great Hall of the University of Romes La Sapienza campus, he was awarded a Gold Medal for his portrait painting: the Foyer prize.
