Antonio Mancini, Italian Master of the Brush

Antonio Mancini is truly one of the most unique painters to come out of the 19th century, his style is one of a romantic poet in texture and design, with drawing skills that permitted him to go on to experiment with his pigments like no other. John Singer Sargent considered Mancini as "the Best living Painter", quite a tribute. He was revered for his skillful use of paint manipulation and creative compositions. he went by his own path and found a world of fans. He was influenced by Morelli in Naples but forged his own unique voice.

    I musei americani hanno scoperto, da tempo, la grandezza di Mancini ma anche dello scultore Vincenzo Gemito che di Mancini fu amico fraterno. Ovviamente le opere maggiori di questi artisti si trovano nei musei italiani tuttavia segnalo agli amici americani la presenza di grandi capolavori di entrambi al Museo di Philadelphia. Video molto bello. Commento intelligente.

    You again bring to us the works of another wonderful artist - I was unfamiliar with him, and so pleased to learn about him. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos! I love that they are so beautifully narrated and concise. And, again, how you give US “pause” to see and enjoy the artist’s work. Hope someday for those of us who are animal lovers, we get a peek at Sir Edwin Landseer’s work. Thank you for all these wonderful videos…they are inspiring!

    The presentation emphasized Mancini's skill in drawing and in rendering form, which is very true, but he was also a master of color. For me, the richness of color, achieved through the juxtaposition of warm and cool at the same value, is the most impressive aspect of Mancini's work.

    Sorry to be a dissenting voice here, but I think Sargent's positive judgment of Mancini was (bafflingly) misplaced. I think his painting technique is rather fussy and afffected, and wholly lacking in virtuosity or uniqueness. Tonally, I find his works rather garish too, showing none of the subtlety of vision that great artists possess. I would say the reason Mancini has been forgotten is, sad to say, not for nothing. I can't see him being rehabilitated as a neglected master any time soon.

    I disagree wholeheartedly , especially on the point of his work seeming fussy, I find the brush work loose and spontaneous . And to say he lacked virtuosity seems wrong to me. That being said, you have a right to your own opinion. Art is, after all, extremely subjective .
