Description : Notturno con lanterne
Mixed media (oil, watercolors, papier-mâché on canvas). Signature, date, title and technique on the back of the smaller panel. These are two canvases to be composed side by side (according to the indications given by the same author on the reverse), playing on the two colors of cream and blue, with the application of papier-mâché elements on the larger. Always linked to the refined and complex watercolor technique, Davide Benati gives life to a universe of fluctuating, transitory and fleeting forms, expressed through a cultured painting, made up of suggestions and literary and personal memories; his figures draw on the world of nature, but "the flowers and leaves become a pure pictorial organism, a microcosm inhabited by delicate and wonderful chromatic games, by broad tonal layers, by barely shadowed spatialities, in which the viewer's gaze is invited to enter to get lost in the impalpable enchantment of the surface” (F. Poli). The work comes from an important historical private collection in Milan.

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.
