FASCINATING PORTRAIT OF LITTLE GIRL IN TRADITIONAL CLOTHES OF CALABRIA.


Description
The painting shows a little girl in traditional clothes of Calabria that the artist has chosen to depict on the background of the crystalline sea of Calabria. A triumph of colours and shapes to create a portrait that is a proof of forgotten traditions that should impress intensely the artist who makes the grand tour in the magic and wonderful Italian lands. In the middle of the painting, on a landscape perfectly balanced between sky and sea joining cold, bright, warm and ?country? colours, the portrait of the little girls stands out, with the typical hat and the dress delicately decorated with golden laces. The candid and flimsy blouse emphasize her delicate features , her eyes and her bright hairs that speak about ancient Norman dominations. The little girl has an orange in her hands, symbol that calls the colours and the warm climate of the South to our mind, as well as he meaning of freedom from the Borbonic domination that will end with the popular insurrection led by Giuseppe Garibaldi.
