About the Item
Romualdo Locatelli è conosciuto per i suoi ritratti che riflettono le culture e le tradizioni dei luoghi esotici che ha visitato. Born in Bergamo, Italy, in 1905, he traveled and explored various parts of the world until finding death under mysterious circumstances near Manila.
The painting in question is emblematic of his interest in different cultures and his ability to represent them with authenticity and respect.
The painting in question is emblematic of his interest in different cultures and his ability to represent them with authenticity and respect; it depicts a young Tunisian woman turned three-quarters,
who smiles with a sweet and serene expression resting her face on her hand, in a composition
carefully designed to impart a sense of movement and vitality to the painting. Mastery
of lights and shadows gives depth and realism to the subject while the palette is rich and
vibrant to bring out the expressiveness of the face and the details of traditional clothing: the
yellow and blue colors, typical of the Gabés area and southern Tunisia, contrasting
harmoniously with the olive complexion of his skin, create a color effect that makes the painting visually appealing.
It is related to the artist's experiences in North Africa, to which he traveled in 1927, leaving from Gabés in
Tunisia, and in the fall of 1930, in both cases in the company of his friend the painter Ernesto Quarti
Marchiò. Considerando la scritta Tunisi accanto alla firma si può dedurre che sia stato ispirato dal primo viaggio e quindi si può proporre una datazione alla fine degli anni Venti.
The current frame is painted white.

Romualdo Locatelli
Romualdo Locatelli studied at the Carrara Academy and then, driven by a strong passion for trips, traveled a lot in Italy and abroad in Africa and Orient. During World War II, he moved to Manila in the Philippines, where he stayed until his death. His works belong to public and private collections all around the world, especially in Orient, where he probably made his better works and is still known as the famous Romualdo. In his natal city, Bergamo dedicated his many exhibitions.
