Description
A cityscape by Giorgio Morandi, Cortile di Via Fondazza features a view from inside a building looking out onto a courtyard, rendered in muted colours and loose brushwork.
Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964) was an Italian painter and printmaker known for his still life paintings and landscapes characterised by their simplicity and subtle tonal variations. He spent most of his life in his hometown of Bologna, and his work reflects a sense of quiet contemplation and introspection. Morandi's paintings often depict everyday objects such as bottles, vases, and boxes, arranged in carefully composed groupings. He also produced a number of landscapes, typically featuring the courtyards and buildings of Bologna. Cortile di Via Fondazza presents a view from within a building, looking out onto a courtyard. The composition is structured by the architectural elements of the building, with the strong vertical lines of the window frame and the horizontal line of the roof creating a sense of enclosure. Beyond this, the courtyard is filled with greenery, rendered in muted greens and browns. The colour palette is restrained, with soft, earthy tones dominating the canvas. The brushwork is loose and expressive, adding to the painting's sense of immediacy and intimacy. The painting captures a fleeting moment in time, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the beauty of the everyday.

Artist Biography
Giorgio Morandi
He was born in 1890 in Bologna. His father wanted him in the export business. He taught drawing in elementary schools for years before becoming Professor of Etchings at the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts in 1930. He painted the same bottles, boxes, vases, and tins for roughly fifty years. The objects barely changed. The light changed, the colour changed, the spatial relationships changed, but the subjects were the same dozen or so items rearranged on the same table.
He was a heavy smoker, tall with large feet, wore elegant long coats, and disliked being called master. He used a small cardboard frame cut-out to set his compositional boundaries. He died in 1964.
