The works of Alfonso Sarno, an important author of the twentieth century in Italy, fall within the realm of genre scenes not only for the subjects chosen, that is, scenes of a popular or bourgeois character, but also for the objective and highly didactic language that the painter uses. The layout of the work is always figurative in clear and spacious framing, where Alfonso Sarno shows all his great skill in achieving a perfect realistic rendition in a representation rich in details and anecdotal particulars. All this is done without using idealizing filters, but in a type of spontaneous representation that returns reality as it is. In addition to this great character of truth, there is another absolutely relevant prerogative in the artistic work of Alfonso Sarno. In fact, from a formal point of view, he does not disdain to use a cursive touch, made of quick flashes, to ensure greater liveliness and freshness in his work. And thus the brushstroke shows a certain level of synthesis, without ever compromising the clarity of the anecdotal and realistic narrative, just enough to infuse the scene with a delicate lyricism enhanced by light.
Alfonso Sarno is a painter whose work focuses on anecdotal genre scenes. His painting style is distinctly realistic, based on a synthetic application that enhances the expressive potential of color.
The painting is in good condition, with normal signs of aging.
