Ricordo di Provenza

"Ricordo di Provenza" (Ref. 082) is a textured work (40x40 cm) that captures the rural and sunny soul of the French countryside. In this painting, Ruggero Ruggieri tackles the complexity of lavender fields using exclusively the palette knife, creating vibrant rows of color that emerge from the canvas with a tactile three-dimensionality. The composition guides the eye from the intense purples of the foreground toward a typical farmhouse, sheltered by a lush forest and overlooked by soft hills fading under a clear spring sky. The generous use of medium allows light to play with the reliefs, restoring the feeling of a living, fragrant landscape. A modern figurative painting that transforms a travel memory into a sensory experience, perfect for those seeking a work that combines the serenity of natural colors with the powerful, decisive expression of the palette knife technique.
