Verified profile

Giuseppe Pellizza already in 1889 dedicated himself to portraiture with great impetus. In parallel with the slow and thoughtful elaboration of the first completed divisionist works, Pellizza awaits some important commissioned portraits. Portrait of a country owner, is executed in the autumn of 1893, emerging from a compact darkness, almost imperceptibly rotated to the right, the subject's face is resolved with large areas of division built by means of a texture of colors that recalls the 'dress, from the blue-grey of the jacket, to the beige of the waistcoat, to the white of the shirt up to the iridescent blue of the tie woven by separate touches of pigment, which rebounds by assonance of tones on the celestial gaze veiled by age, on the wrinkles and on the white hair mottled with reflections. The naturalism of the face is exaggerated down to the smallest imperfections of the skin, while equal care is reserved for the virtuosic rendering of the mother-of-pearl buttons and the pocket watch chain, refined details that underline the social class of the man, a wealthy landowner of the area, making its memory eternal.
