Verified profile

In his long career as a painter, ceramist, decorator, graphic designer and set designer, Galileo Chini welcomes the suggestions of the great pointillist masters, as well as the stimuli of the new futurist generations. Crucial is the meeting, in 1897, with Plinio Nomelllini, who addresses the youngest colleague of pointillist painting. Known international success thanks to the creation of refined ceramics, the artist reaches the apex of fame around 1911, when he will leave for Bangkok to fresco the Throne Room, a prestigious commission received by King Rama V. The nostalgic hour sul Mé-nam is a picture with a collected and meditative atmosphere, in which the symbiosis between nature and mood takes place in an anti-naturalistic chromatism evocative of languid melancholy. The large canvas frames the silhouette against the light of a building near the Bangkok river, marking the rhythm of the composition through a stringent dialogue between the verticals of the slender pillars arranged to create depth and the softly dynamic lines of the surrounding landscape, to integrate the reasons of nature and artifice in the magical harmony of the reds and blues of a fiery sunset. The very original reinterpretation of a pointillism used in a sentimental and expressive key is typical of all the works of this fruitful period.
