LIVED MOMENT, LIKE REVELATIONS – Natale Scarpa, a brief existential flight inside the hyper-pictorial realism

CAGNACCIO DI SAN PIETRO – His real name was Natale Scarpa, but we know him by his pen name: Cagnaccio di San Pietro. Born in Desenzano del Garda in a January day in 1897, he would become a hyper-realist Italian painter. Initially, his creativity had approached to Futurism, briefly, because the Magic Realism had grown inside him.

                              CAGNACCIO DI SAN PIETRO – He was interested in reality, a special reality crossed by emotions he could give birth – and paint – through creative moments that he lived like revelations. Since 1925, he had started to sign his paintings with the name of Cagnaccio, because so he was known in his small island of San Pietro.

CAGNACCIO DI SAN PIETRO – Looking at what he has painted, you too can perceive that he was able to push the realism to its most extreme dimension, making use of photographic colors. Is hospitalized in Venice for serious illness, but even in this place painted emotions are born, that address the issues of suffering. Yes, it’s true. What he has done it opens into an existential void, where every look is confused.
