The oil painting on canvas is made with a mixed brush and palette knife technique; the author used traditional brushes for a first draft giving shape to the entire drawing with a skilful and loose play of the wrist and with sure and decisive brush strokes; the representation, in this case, is not a pure exercise of virtuosity, in fact, the author communicates his intimate essence to us, manifesting it through the language of colours, shapes and composition. The artist finished his work with the palette knife technique, which takes its name from the tool of the protagonist, redistributing the colors in a dense and coherent way, giving the painting a particular body and depth. The painting is signed but we are unable to provide certain information on the author, however we confirm its extraordinary aesthetic and engaging liveliness; the painting was created in 1989 in the author's studio in Paris with the intention of celebrating the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution (1789). The painter was inspired by both French Expressionism and Symbolism; Expressionism enhances the emotional value of art, the artist's desire to communicate inner feelings, while with Symbolism painters tend to go beyond the objective representation of reality to focus instead on the subjective vision, in which feelings, emotions are evoked above all and inner experiences.
