Proferio Grossi (1923-2000) - Natura morta con oggetti e ritratto

Proferio Grossi (1923–2000) – Still Life with Objects and Portrait, 1988 An interesting oil painting on a rigid support, signed Proferio Grossi and dated 1988, attributed to the Italian painter Proferio Grossi, born in Vignale di Traversetolo (Parma) in 1923 and died in Parma in 2000. The work depicts a refined still life, executed with particular attention to detail and the illusionistic effects typical of trompe-l'œil painting, a genre especially representative of the artist’s figurative work. The composition features an elaborate arrangement of objects: a large handled metal vessel, bottles, a kerosene lamp, antique books, a jug, fruit, cups, and a long pipe. Of particular interest is the small painting depicted in the upper left of the composition, which shows a male portrait beside a figure with a theatrical face, creating an original play of images within the work. The palette is dominated by gray, brown, and silvery tones, enlivened by blue, red, and green details. The precision of the objects, the study of light, and the rendering of materials give the composition a remarkable realistic effect.
