SUNDAY Feature on ART of Architecture -by Gautam Shah
Post -326
Guglielmo Ciardi (1842-1917) was an Italian landscape Painter. He first enrolled in 1861 at Venice Academy of Fine Arts, for studying perspective (with Federico Moja), and landscape and seascape (with Domenico Bresolin). On trips to France he was acquainted with the Barbizon School.
Ciardi, from 1869, adopted more luminous colour style for realistic scenes of the lagoon and the peasants’ life. His sense of composition was natural in spite of learning perspectives. His works are rooted in preparatory pencil sketches. He has drawn several rural cottages, both, in plains and hilly terrains, but without any superfluous or sensorial extras. His drawings for sail boats in the seas and canals show preference for brown to orange colours. At places he has experimented with impressionist to pointillist effects through the colours and brush strokes.
