Proferio Grossi (1923-2000) - Natura morta con cesto di frutta

Proferio Grossi (1923–2000) – Still life with a fruit basket, 1987 Interesting oil painting on a rigid support, signed Proferio Grossi and dated 1987, attributed to the Italian painter Proferio Grossi (1923–2000). The work depicts a refined still life, characterized by the precision of the details and the illusionistic effects typical of trompe-l'œil painting. The composition presents a woven basket containing fresh fruit, including apples, pears, bananas and bunches of grapes, accompanied by a few bananas resting on the surface and a transparent glass. Particularly interesting is the realistic rendering of materials: the weave of the basket, the glossy surfaces of the fruit, and the transparency of the glass are represented through an accurate study of light and shadows. The palette is characterized by warm, natural tones, with green, yellow and red hues that stand out against a neutral background.
