Verified profile

Piazza Caricamento in Genoa, from 1891, exhibited in the same year at the controversial Brera Triennale, inaugurates the new course of Nomellini's painting, both for the unprecedented choices of content and for the modern treatment of the surfaces. A decidedly photographic cut frames the silhouettes of a camallo - with the typical headgear and rope in hand - and of a carter - moleskin jacket, neckerchief and high boots - who advance against the background of the very large square in front of the port, teeming of life and still immersed in the morning fog, impressionistically conceived to create an enveloping atmosphere. Silhouetted as if on a proscenium, the solid figures of the workers, proud bearing and fixed gaze, are balanced by the silhouettes of the street sweeper and the man with the basket, in the median plane on the extreme left, and the bourgeois with the newspaper, on the opposite side , in a game of compositional balances and dialectical oppositions. Owned by the musician Pietro Mascagni since 1891, perhaps personally donated by Nomellini to his great friend and collector, Piazza Caricamento signals the crucial moment in the artist's evolution towards the technique of divided color and stands among the most relevant achievements of the Genoese period , recognized by critics as the best of his vast production.
