Giuseppe Flangini

The painting depicts the Rialto Bridge in Venice in a striking and colorful scene. The brushstrokes are soft and nuanced, giving the painting an aura of tranquility and serenity. The colors are vibrant and bright, reflecting the sunlight that reflects on the water of the Venetian canals. The palette of colors used is reminiscent of the Impressionists, creating a sense of movement and vitality in the composition. The buildings around the bridge are rendered with nuances, giving them an ethereal and dreamlike appearance. Overall, the painting captures the romantic and picturesque essence of Venice and its famous Rialto Bridge. Giuseppe Flangini was born in Verona on June 27, 1898, graduated in June 1916 and immediately began working as an elementary school teacher, continuing even after his move to Milan in 1944. Later, he decided to dedicate himself completely to painting and theater, collaborating with the theater magazine "Controcorrente". The world of the stage allowed him to form lasting friendships with actors and directors, but also with artists, including Pigato, Vitturi, Albertini, Semeghini, Oliboni, Arturo Martini Sassu, Migneco, Carlo Carrà, Aldo Carpi, Consadori. His first exhibition was organized by the Società Belle Arti in Verona in 1921. Thus began his participation in numerous national Biennales until 1963 (posthumously). In 1922, he began traveling abroad, choosing Belgium as his first destination to meet the relatives of his young wife, the painter Gina Zandavalli Flangini. During one of his stays in Ostend, probably in 1933, he became friends with James Ensor with whom, on numerous occasions, he found himself discussing art. "The last years of Giuseppe Flangini, from 1959 to 1961, were characterized by the birth of a new and happy chromatism attributable to the experiences of the Fauves and Vlaminck in particular. In works such as "Campagna a Charleroi", "Mulino a vento a Hetchel" and "Paesaggio a Gilly" a more serene vision of life transpires, which is expressed not only in the themes but also in the yellow, reddish ocher and brown tones, lively and bright in a clear and clean atmosphere. "Faro di Ostenda" and especially "Mulino a Bruges", the artist's last work remained unfinished on the easel of his studio at his death, remain as evidence of the persistence of an open and vital research" (A. Di Lieto). In August 1961 Flangini died suddenly in Verona from color poisoning.
