FIORELLO TOSONI The painter is Fiorello Tosoni, without doubt an artist who in the portrait excels because he adds his ability to psychologically interpret the portrayed person to the quality of formal and physical similarity along with the beauty of the means used in order to reach those well-noted results. Fiorello Tosoni belongs to that small group of artists whose nostalgia for the golden centuries provides them with the scruple of making themselves congenial to the spirit of the old masters by taking on completely their manner. Fiorello Tosoni, a way of acting between the uncertain and the hasty, a glance often fleeting; pupil of Annigoni, exceptional portrait painter and author of disenchanted and finely wrought landscapes that rise up from the soul and where skill and emotion are well blended. www.fiorellotosoni.it /critica-eng.htm   (1967 words)
