Ludovico and Madonna Beatrice

Enzo Brunori1967

Palazzo Pretorio e Casa Boccaccio

Palazzo Pretorio e Casa Boccaccio
Certaldo, Italy

The drawing sums up in a narratively free some images and suggestions provided by the novella sette, day seven of The' Decameron ' by G. Boccaccio that tells The Night Of Love of Ludovico with Madonna Beatrice, wife of his master Egano. The piece reported by the author on the verse of the sheet does not belong to this novella. The drawing was carried out at the invitation of the national body Giovanni Boccaccio to appear at the exhibition 'homage to G. Boccaccio' held in Certaldo in 1967. In this work concise and robust signs of china and charged 'taches' of color, evoke barely perceptible pieces of the narrative reality, which, conducted with extreme logical freedom from the stratification of memory, combine to form a tight and dense painting fabric, cubizing, which still feeds on the abstract-informal experiences of the fifties. Of particular intensity is the rendering of the lipid and smelling atmosphere of the starry night that manifests one of the most typical aspects and interests of the art of Brunori
