Elle's early and mature portraits (for example, the portrait of Louis XIV in armor, Metz, Musée de la Cour d'Or) demonstrate how great the influence of his father's work was on the artist. The artist uses well-established (but somewhat archaic) portraiture from around 1620, which is characterized by a somewhat elongated silhouette of the figure, smooth light and shadow modeling and an extremely generalized interpretation of the face. The artist remained devoted to this scheme for quite a long time, despite the fact that the portrait formula in France was undergoing significant changes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll the more unexpected is the radical change in the style of Elle's portraits in the last years of his life, in the 1680s. This was connected with the arrival of the greatest portrait painter Louis Ferdinand Voet in Paris. Voet 's manner, which Pope Innocent XI called \"an instrument of voluptuousness\" (which was the reason that Voet was banned from working in Rome), turned out to be incredibly in tune with the artistic atmosphere of Paris. El's style begins to resemble Foote's work - his painting becomes more transparent, incredible freedom in technique appears, and his images are filled with sensual charm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA small portrait of an unknown lady from the collection of Alina Malova’s gallery is an excellent example of El’s late work. The painting technique amazes with its virtuosity; it is free and artistic. The modeling of the form is built using several artistic techniques at once. Using light, the artist determines the volume, but completes the form using the non-finito effect. The figurative interpretation of the model is interesting. A characteristic feature of Elle's entire work was his very personal and intimate view of the model. The dialogue between the person depicted and the viewer in El’s work is based on semi-emotions, a technique he inherited from the art of his father.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is especially noticeable in the portrait of a lady from the Alina Malova gallery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA slight tilt of the head, a soft gaze and a slight half-smile create the charm of the image and seem to anticipate the French portrait of the 18th century.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"@alina.malova","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47962140508488,"sku":"","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/8200\/3151\/files\/621B8299-F8E1-4F10-86C8-3213EECB2617.jpg?v=1737621407"},{"product_id":"roman-school-circle-of-paolo-anesi-landscape-with-san-francesco-alla-verna","title":"🎈 SOLD Roman School.

His career spanned several decades and was marked by a remarkable versatility, making significant contributions to painting, sculpture, and advertising. Silombria began his artistic journey under the tutelage of renowned artists Emilio Scannavino and Lucio Fontana, whose guidance helped shape his early style and approach to art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the late 1960s, Silombria established himself in Turin, a city that became the backdrop for his dynamic career in both art and advertising. He worked with prominent figures like Armando Testa, creating iconic campaigns for major Italian brands such as Fiat, Gallo Rice, and Facis. His work for these companies not only showcased his innovative graphic design skills but also played a pivotal role in defining the visual identity of these brands during a transformative era in Italian marketing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransitioning to fine art in the 1980s, Silombria embraced a distinctive style that blended elements of Pop Art and Neo-Dadaism. His paintings often featured openly homoerotic themes, making bold statements through vibrant colors and reinterpretations of classical subjects. This period saw him exploring the rich mythological traditions of Greek and Roman art, reimagining figures like Eros, Dionysus, and Saint Sebastian with a modern, provocative twist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilombria's commitment to social and cultural causes was equally notable. He was a key figure in the F.U.O.R.I. (Fronte Unitario Omosessuale Rivoluzionario Italiano), Italy's first gay rights movement founded by Angelo Pezzana. He contributed significantly to the movement's visual identity, creating iconic graphics and donating artworks that celebrated LGBTQ+ themes.

These ancient artifacts, dedicated to mythological figures such as Dionysus and his followers, become tools in Silombria's hands for broader reflection on identity and transformation. The use of specific colors and techniques, such as black, gold, or blue, in contrast or dialogue with different materials, is typical of his works, which aim to explore the duality and complexity of human and divine nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this context, the painting is not just a representation of Eros and the dolphin, but an invitation to reflect on how myths can still speak to our contemporary experiences and sensitivities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout artist: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarco Silombria, an influential figure in Italian Pop Art, was born in Savona in 1936 and passed away in Albissola in 2017. His career spanned several decades and was marked by a remarkable versatility, making significant contributions to painting, sculpture, and advertising. Silombria began his artistic journey under the tutelage of renowned artists Emilio Scannavino and Lucio Fontana, whose guidance helped shape his early style and approach to art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the late 1960s, Silombria established himself in Turin, a city that became the backdrop for his dynamic career in both art and advertising. He worked with prominent figures like Armando Testa, creating iconic campaigns for major Italian brands such as Fiat, Gallo Rice, and Facis. His work for these companies not only showcased his innovative graphic design skills but also played a pivotal role in defining the visual identity of these brands during a transformative era in Italian marketing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransitioning to fine art in the 1980s, Silombria embraced a distinctive style that blended elements of Pop Art and Neo-Dadaism. His paintings often featured openly homoerotic themes, making bold statements through vibrant colors and reinterpretations of classical subjects. This period saw him exploring the rich mythological traditions of Greek and Roman art, reimagining figures like Eros, Dionysus, and Saint Sebastian with a modern, provocative twist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilombria's commitment to social and cultural causes was equally notable. He was a key figure in the F.U.O.R.I. (Fronte Unitario Omosessuale Rivoluzionario Italiano), Italy's first gay rights movement founded by Angelo Pezzana. He contributed significantly to the movement's visual identity, creating iconic graphics and donating artworks that celebrated LGBTQ+ themes. His involvement with the Turin Radical Party and initiatives like the first homosexual cinema review, \"From Sodom to Hollywood,\" highlighted his role as a pioneer in advocating for gay rights and visibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollectors and art enthusiasts are drawn to Silombria's work for its historical significance and bold artistic expression. His pieces, which range from playful advertising graphics to profound and introspective paintings, offer a unique insight into the cultural and social shifts of 20th-century Italy. Silombria's art is not only a reflection of his times but also a celebration of individuality and freedom, making it a valuable addition to any collection that seeks to capture the essence of modern Italian art and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"@alina.malova","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48824695849288,"sku":"","price":400.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/8200\/3151\/files\/E909DA3D-F527-4F59-B3A2-E36CD54275FA.jpg?v=1721908168"},{"product_id":"trinity-18th-century-oil-on-oak-wooden-panel","title":"Trinity. 18th century.
