Il Saltimbanco by Antonio Mancini. Italy, 1879. Oil painting.

In the early 19th century, the exile of Napoleon lifted restrictions on public expression and brought about a new era of innovation in theater and performance, bringing about characters such as Pierrot and Harlequin. Antonio Mancini was part of the Verismo movement, an Italian response to Realism, and often painted children and street performers.

In this painting, he depicts a young boy (the model being Luigiello, one found in several of Mancini's paintings) as a Saltimbanco, an acrobat who used a small bench as his platform. This type of performer can be dated back to at least the 18th century, and would perform both on streets as well as in theaters. While the Saltimbanco is Italian in origin, the nature of this character changed with the changed in the French theater scene in the 19th century. The writings of the French poet Charles Baudelaire in particular reimagined the character in his short story, 'Le vieux saltimbanque.' Originally a cheery character associated with the thrill of Italian commedia, he was reimagined as a sad clown, a man depressed by the contrast of his "comic rags" to the misery around and in him. Similarly, Mancini often focused on the desolate, raggedy nature of the performers he was depicting, particularly when they were poor children. In this piece, the performer is not particularly raggedy, but he is rather frail and posed similarly to portrayals of Jesus as the "Man of Sorrows." This piece combines both the contemporary reinvention of theater as well as the artists focus on street performance, themes also seen in other portraits by the artist.

I don't really consider myself much of a patriot - unless we're talking Moniuszko's Halka. I'll defend this opera forever and yes, I do think it deserves to be known outside of Poland because it SLAPS.

#i love Halka yall. she's my girlie. she's like a combo of Santuzza Norma and Lucia. #would love an AU production where she actually does burn that church with Janusz and everyone in it to the ground <333 #also like. yes musically it's much more bel canto-ish but thematically this is pure VERISMO #and not to brag but it predates Carmen by like 30 years so yknow 💅 #and since some people say verismo starts with Carmen and not Cavalleria Rusticana - then it may as well have started with Halka #i love this aria and the way Kawecka sings it #but the second aria is also amazing. the first part is kinda like 'Senza mamma' and yes it always makes me cry #and then it morphs into my girlie going fucking INSANE <3333 #ja serce twoje wyrwę ci! za krzywdę moją spalę cię! o jAAAAAAAśko panie czy ty słyszysz mnie?!!!!!! <3333 #opera tag #halka #polska #moniuszko #Spotify

Revolt in Aspromonte - An early 20th century's tale of hopeless poverty in Southern Italy's Calabria

Gente in Aspromonte (which was translated in English as Revolt in Aspromonte) written in 1930 by Italian journalist and novelist Corrado Alvaro, is a short but powerful novel of peasant life in Southern Italy's Calabria and is recognized by Italians as one of the classics of their modern literature.

Gente in Aspromonte is the story of the shepherd Argirò and his family––of their struggle for survival, and some shred of dignity, against the degrading oppression of the feudal family which controls their village. In his despair, Argirò believes that if only he can educate his youngest son, Benedetto, to be a priest he will achieve status and revenge on those who have wronged him. To this end, he sacrifices himself and the gentle older brother, Antonello. A simple tale––but told with a poetry of style which gives it a somber beauty.

Corrado Alvaro (San Luca, 15 April 1895 – Rome, 11 June 1956) was an Italian journalist and writer of novels, short stories, screenplays and plays. He often used the verismo style to describe the hopeless poverty in his native Calabria.

Gente in Aspromonte, which examined the exploitation of rural peasants by greedy landowners in Calabria, is considered by many critics to be his masterpiece.

He was born in San Luca, a small village in the southernmost region of Calabria. His father Antonio was a primary school teacher and founded an evening school for farmers and illiterate shepherds. Alvaro was educated at Jesuit boarding schools in Rome and Umbria. He graduated with a degree in literature in 1919 at the University of Milan and began working as a journalist and literary critic for two daily newspapers, Il Resto del Carlino of Bologna and the Corriere della Sera of Milan.

He served as an officer in the Italian army during World War I. After being wounded in both arms, he spent a long time in military hospitals. After the war, he worked as a correspondent in Paris (France) for the anti-Fascist paper Il Mondo of Giovanni Amendola. In 1925, he supported the Manifesto of the Anti-Fascist Intellectuals written by the philosopher Benedetto Croce.

In 1926 he published his first novel L'uomo nel labirinto (Man in the Labyrinth), which explored the growth of Fascism in Italy in the 1920s. A staunch democrat with strong anti-Fascist views, Alvaro's politics made him the target of surveillance of Mussolini's Fascist regime. He was forced to leave Italy and during the 1930s he travelled widely in western Europe, the Middle East, and the Soviet Union. Journeys he later recounted in his travel essays. L'uomo è forte (1938; Man Is Strong), written after a trip to the Soviet Union, is a defence of the individual against the oppression of totalitarianism.

Alvaro is noted for his realistic, epic depictions of the Italian poor. His later work portrayed the contrasts between a yearning for the simple, pastoral way of life, and the aspiration to achieve material success that attracts people to the city. He died in Rome in 1956.

Da: SGUARDI SULL'ARTE LIBRO QUARTO - di Gianpiero Menniti

IL COLORE OLTRE L'OMBRA

Ancora oggi, Giovanni Francesco Barbieri detto il "Guercino", è considerato un pittore raffinato, iscritto nel catalogo ideale del classicismo seicentesco capace di attenuare la resa reale delle rappresentazioni con la nitidezza vivida dei colori ora sfumati, ora esaltati.

A veder bene, ci si trova innanzi un "maestro" del colore, trattato alla stregua di materia.

Le figure, anche se così ben disposte sulla scena, "carraccesche" o "caravaggesche" che dir si voglia, non hanno corpo ma colore.

Colore cangiante, dotato di mille tonalità, ora acceso ora ridotto a ombra.

Ma sempre lì, in primo piano o sullo sfondo, il colore domina.

Solo un particolare gusto estetico?

Forse.

In tarda età questa passione per il colore gli venne contestata come esilio della rappresentazione veridica che caratterizzò la sua epoca.

Tuttavia, per il pittore di Cento, il rilievo dell'immagine appare concentrato in uno strumento innegabile: l'impatto dei contrasti di luce dati dalla ricerca coloristica.

Come se già fosse presente, in lui, il salto espressionista, il significato dell'intensità cromatica che afferma l'essenza della pittura e reagisce al verismo ottundente dell'immagine sacra.

Questa è fuori dal tempo, oltre ogni ricerca del reale: vive di luce, pregna o tenue, carica o sottile, pesante o lieve.

Se è rappresentabile, solo così può essere mostrata.

È un modo di dipingere che fa omaggio all'ultraterreno.

Distingue.

Anche il mito.

Senza compromessi.

Ricorda all'osservatore la dimenticata differenza.

Anche della pittura rispetto a ogni altra forma d'arte.

- Guercino (1591 - 1666): "Sepoltura e gloria di santa Petronilla", 1623, Pinacoteca Capitolina, Roma

Víctor Patricio de Landaluze (Spanish-born active in Cuba, 1830 - 1889) Día de Reyes en La Habana, ca. 1800s Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Cuba On Three Kings Day... Víctor Patricio Landaluze is an attentive observer of the street scene, full of color and movement on the only day a year that Havana slaves are allowed to parade before the Governor. The work of the Basque Víctor Patricio Landaluze, caricaturist and painter, is important, who leaves in his small oil paintings the image of the men of the popular classes –not without traces of irony– among whom we see passing from the free black to the urban slave and plantation, as well as the criollo peasant in his games and dances. Landaluze does not denounce the social reality governed by the injustice of slavery. His vision is picturesque, alien to the verismo of the historical moment. His work demonstrates his qualities as a good draftsman and the use of chromatic ranges of clean and bright inks. Some of his favorite themes are reiterated in his works with variations in composition or, sometimes, in costumes and settings.
