Original artwork description:

Artwork in which I sought to capture the lively and thoughtful essence of Italy's modernist era through Federigo Tozzi (1883 - 1920), whose portrait dominates the painting that offers in the background a glimpse of his Siena's famous Torre del Mangia, rendered with expressionist touches to evoke the history and culture that permeate the pages of the book he holds. Using oil, I created the figure of the writer immersed in his reading, his eyes reflecting an intense quest for knowledge and inspiration. He is considered today, together with Italo Svevo and Luigi Pirandello, among the most important authors of the Italian twentieth century, as the themes of Tozzi's masterpieces are also the main themes of contemporary Italian and European literature. This painting is an invitation to explore the depths of intellect and art, bringing a timeless aura of reflection and beauty into your home.
