1861
I PITTORI DEL RISORGIMENTO
Francesco Hayez La meditazione 1851
Faustino Joli Il combattimento del 31 marzo 1849 in via delle Consolazioni 1849
Un’interessante lettura degli eventi e dei sentimenti che hanno attraversato gli anni della conquista dell’Unità d’Italia.Una retrospettiva che racconta non solo le battaglie ma anche gli aspetti più strettamente ideali e popolari di una storia d’Italia fatta dal popolo e nata dalla rivoluzione intellettuale e culturale the end of the ancien regime.
1861 The painters of the Renaissance has recently closed its doors to the stables of the Quirinal , a tale emblematic of a crucial time in our history, told through the works of major artists such as Francesco Hayez , Joseph Molteni, Domenico and Jerome Induno, Eleuterio Pagliano, Federico Faruffini Giovanni Fattori, Silvestro Lega, Edward Borrani, Michele Cammarano and Joseph Sciuti. The myth of a civic engagement as told by a history painting that tells the story of the men on the battlefield and the emotional intimacy of the home and family. The idea of \u200b\u200ba united Italy "had accompanied the Italian political thought from Dante on" with Napoleon and the concept of nation was rooted in the conscience, eating in the nineteenth century of civil passion and the "desire for freedom" values \u200b\u200bof those romantics who led the Risorgimento and the crucial events of the period between 1859 and 1861. Events narrated by the sign and the colors of those who had lived those experiences in the field, with notes and drawings documenting the climate bloody and passionate, as Jerome Induno who had participated personally in the shipment of Crimea. A painting that illustrates and documents in a literary realism tones big business and the "human misery" by providing the key to a narrative close "to the appearance of reality" and the popular dimension that "rose to prominence in history." A painting filtered by patriotic ideals with obvious purpose of education to the masses to witness a national identity to which art offered its tools, as happened with the Italian National Exhibition opened in Florence in 1861. A humus which nourished the poetic art but also music, theater and literature to build the awareness of being in the Italian people. The theme of exile and abandonment in the light of continuous migration, expressed those feelings of gloom and uncertainty due to geographic mobility and the fragility of the posting. Francesco Hayez interpreted the insecurities of these events in The people of Parga who leave their homeland (1826-1831) recalling the sad events of a political history that had brought the city to ask the British protectorate on the threshold of the end Napoleonic empire, which will then be revoked protectorate because of geopolitical reorganization of Europe during the Restoration . In 'work Meditation (Italy in 1848) , (1851) reflection falls on the climate, but strong-willed disillusioned of an Italy lost and defiled by the violence, represented by the figure of a woman strong and sensual, disgraced in the body and strong in the religious consciousness. An image that recurs in hopes Venice (1861) by Andrea Appiani jr. in the symbolic representation of a city betrayed in the guise of a woman humiliated and broken. Many references to small and great stories, from The Return of the sailor (1866-1870), Hearing the news of the day (1864) and the Descent d'Aspromonte (1863) by Jerome Induno, to Portrait of Giuseppe Garibaldi ( 1861) of Silvestro Lega, the refined and intimate atmosphere it home The tale of wounded (1866) and the Letter from the field (1859) of G. Induno . The bloody visions of Faustino Joli, the popular and revolutionary realism Michele Cammarano and Napoleone Nani and patriotism and theatrical narrative Giovanni Fattori.
