In Front of the Gallinara Island

"In Front of the Gallinara Island" (Ref. 008) is an expansive work (50x40 cm) belonging to Ruggero Ruggieri's artistic genesis. The painting depicts the symbolic island of Alassio and Albenga from a close and majestic perspective. In this early stage, the artist's palette knife already seeks to confront the sculptural mass of the rock and the vastness of the sea. The composition is balanced and conveys a profound calm, typical of days when the island seems suspended between sky and water. The textured relief, though one of the artist's first experiments, already provides that tactility that will characterize all his future production. A fundamental work for understanding Ruggieri's stylistic development, perfect for those wanting to own a piece that tells the story of the beginning of a visceral passion for the Ligurian landscape.
