After youthful experimentatipn in informai fields of work, Jtalo Petreni has settled on a more figurative painting style, with naturalistic reproductions of Tuscan landscapes: with th\u00e8 specificity and variety of his work, he has reached th\u00e8 apex of his aesthetic research in th\u00e8 last ten years. The artist is seduced by th\u00e8 sun-soaked arid fields, by th\u00e8 wood-covered hills of Chianti, by he nonscape atmospheres of th\u00e8 Sienese Crete hills, and seems to give into th\u00e8 desire to dive into those fields of scented flowers that surround th\u00e8 isolated country villas, disperseti throughout th\u00e8 countryside. These landscapes painted in oil are born from Petreni\u2019s familiarity witlt th\u00e8 technique of watercolor painting, capable of rendering with immediate elegance th\u00e8 direct impression that man creates upon seeing nature for th\u00e8 first lime. In these works th\u00e8 inspiration of Renaissance landscapes is notable. They are harmonius, composed ofa sortpimagie equilibrium, with a composition thatis ordered and rigorously planned out, representing hills divided by wide valleys, landscapes where th\u00e8 eye is lead towards th\u00e8 infinite continuum of hills and sky.<\/p>\n<p>It is a painting style which, not exempt from post-Macchiaioli echoes, celebrateti th\u00e8 rural environment across brilliant relationships between light and co\/or, imbuing th\u00e8 compositions with harmony by means of a certain lithtness which emanates tram th\u00e8 joining of complementary tones. It is in this way that his extraordinary representations of vast flowered meadows and cultivated fields immersed in th\u00e8 summers heat take form. Italo Petreni\u2019s landscapes never include th\u00e8 human form: in his paintings man is th\u00e8 spectator who is amazed by th\u00e8 painter\u2019s game ofagrestic nature, and th\u00e8 artifice of painting evokes in him hidden sentiments and bucolic sensatipns. Italo Petreni has partecipateti in numerous collettive exhibitions and various personal shows. His works are fpund in many public collections and innumerable private collections in Italy and abroad, demonstrating yet again th\u00e8 wide appeal of his works and th\u00e8 ampie consensus of th\u00e8 public in his regard.<\/p>\n<p><i>(N.
