Luca Madrassi (1848-1919)

Luca Madrassi Pan with Young Maiden is a different version of his composition, following the same iconography as the previous example, but with a different surface treatment. The bipartite structure and the relationship between the figures still rely on the tension between instinct and restraint. The difference in material use results in a subtle shift in emphasis, more strongly separating the shape of the foreground and background. Thus, the work receives a different plastic emphasis within the same conceptual framework.
