Verified profile

The gremignaie, often also identified by the title The disk of the sun, constitutes one of the highest achievements of the Divisionist phase of Lloyd's artistic itinerary. Born in Macchiaioli, he had come into contact with the novelties of Italian and international art already in the 1890s. However, it is only since 1903 that the approach to chromatic decomposition becomes systematic, when he begins to paint in the surroundings of Porto Venere with particular attention to the beauties of Manarola, always chasing the changing effects of the warm Mediterranean light on the colors of the sky, of the sea. and the luxuriant Ligurian vegetation. In Le gremignaie, painted in Antignano near Livorno, the interest in the restitution of the luminous phenomenon is concretized in a rich and dynamic chromatic plot variously structured, from the vibrant pointillism of the sky caught in the hour of a red-hot sunset, to the short brushstroke and threadlike grass in the field, up to the denser and more compact rendering of the laborers and trees silhouetted in a vigorous backlight dominated by the semicircle of the sun plunged into the sea, which draws the gaze in depth with its overwhelming orange light and then repels it on the bent figures that frame it like a scenography.
