Mauro Maffezzoni, ROMANINO IN VAL CAMONICA
Mauro Maffezzoni has taken art history as his starting point and reinterpreted what already exists, giving it a new interpretation. In this case, the artist has been nourished by the work of Romanino, a Brescian master at the turn of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries who left many signs in Valle Camonica. Maffezzoni looks at local authors, interweaving events and drawing parallels, for example between the images of Romanino in Pisogne and those of Cremona Cathedral, where the artist lives. With a fresh, quick and light brushstroke, Maffezzoni has made a return to tradition, studying the history of art and, a little, his own, recovering his family’s Camunian origins.
