Synopsis The second volume devoted
to the most recent works by Antonio Nunziante, paintings which testify
to his style and technical ability. Trained in Turin and Florence, Nunziante
is fascinated by the Renaissance, but he likewise has a passion for Flemish
and North-European art. He ranges widely through the seventeenth century,
the period of still-lifes as an independent art form and of Vermeer, as
well as the eighteenth century of Chardin and so down to more recent masters
such as Böcklin, Dalí, Picasso
and naturally De Chirico. This volume - which gives a very full account of
the style and fascination of Nunziante, between the intellectual recovery
of classicism, symbolic representation, dream and myth - is the second in
a series which will present the complete oeuvre of the Master: oil
paintings, watercolours, engravings, temperas and majolicas.
