Mantuan landscape with boats

The trees without leaves that rise from the partly stagnant water, the profile of the beloved Mantua far on the horizon, the fisherman who quietly awaits his fish using a thin reed with the wire perpendicular to the liquid surface. Colors, especially colors, that Mario Lomini can distribute with skill, rounding out the figures and the features of the landscape. There is the evident echo of the years in which he learned art in Munich, just in the time when the different pictorial secessions stirred Europe. There is in fact something lyrically expressionist in his way of dealing, with great love, the theme that from time to time he tackles. Visions that in the course of his life become more and more intimate and more humble. But his paintings continue to show a strong inner truth. In the details, of course, but also in the overall composition, which manifests here a beautiful brightness and a perfect description of the particular aquatic nature of the Virgilian city and its surroundings.
