SEME"ON THE BACK OF THE CANVAS SIGNATURE OF THE ARTIST FOR AUTHENTICATION AND TITLE OF THE WORK "ROASTED PEPPERS" WORK DATABLE TO THE END OF THE LAST CENTURY '80S - '90S APPROX.IN GILDED WOODEN FRAME WITH SLIGHT SIGNS OF TIME. PAINTING AND FRAME IN VERY GOOD CONSERVATION CONDITION. MEASUREMENTS OF THE PAINTING: 50 CM HEIGHT X 70 CM WIDTH FRAME MEASURES: 63 CM HEIGHT X 83 CM WIDTH PICTORIAL COMPOSITION OF GREAT SCENIC IMPACT BY THE MASTER OF THE NEAPOLITAN SCHOOL LUIGI SEME. THIS IS ONE OF THE SUBJECTS THAT MADE HIM MOST FAMOUS, THE REALIST STILL LIFE WITH FRUIT AND CERAMICS. IN THE PAINTING WE FIND A GREAT VARIETY OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES ARRANGED IN A CIRCLE ON THE TWO TABLECLOTHS (ONE WHITE AND THE OTHER RED) COVERING THE TABLE TOP. AT THE BOTTOM STAND THE TWO CERAMIC JUGS, ONE WHITE AND THE OTHER COPPER-COLOURED. AT THEIR FEET AND IN THE CENTRE OF THE SCENE IS A WHITE PLATE INSIDE WHICH ARE THREE ROASTED PEPPERS (GIVING THE WORK ITS TITLE). THE NATURALISTIC RENDERING OF THE OBJECTS PORTRAYED IS EXTRAORDINARY, AS IS THE WIDE RANGE OF HUES USED. WE ARE FACED WITH A WORK OF GREAT NATURALISTIC RENDERING AND CHROMATIC QUALITY. MASTER LUIGI SEME WAS ONE OF THE FORERUNNERS OF THE ITALIAN HYPERREALISTIC CURRENT. HIS ARTISTIC ACTIVITY BEGAN AT THE DAWN OF THE 1970S, HE HELD EXHIBITIONS AND SHOWS LOCALLY AND AFTER A FEW YEARS THERE WERE ALREADY NUMEROUS EXPERTS IN THE FIELD, COLLECTORS, ENTHUSIASTS, WHO NOTICED HIS TECHNICAL SKILL AND EXECUTION, AND WHO ASKED FOR AND SOUGHT OUT HIS PAINTINGS. HIS REALIST STILL LIFES BECOME MORE AND MORE SOUGHT AFTER IN THE ART MARKET. THE DOORS OF SOLO AND GROUP EXHIBITIONS IN AMERICA AND EUROPE OPENED FOR HIM. HE RECEIVED GREAT CRITICAL AND PUBLIC ACCLAIM EVERYWHERE. THE WELL-KNOWN OPERA SINGER, KATJA RICCIARELLI, PUBLICLY DECLARES THAT SHE IS ENRAPTURED BY HIS WORK AND PAYS HOMAGE TO HIM DURING SOME OF HER SOLO EXHIBITIONS. HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT HIM: "In a world dominated by the ephemeral, Master Seme seems to have stepped out of a book of fairy tales and, like all the characters in the dream world, seems to wander dazedly in the reality that surrounds him. His drawings, especially the sanguine ones, depicted with a happy hand through chiaroscuro that are impressive in their veracity, seem like poetic horizons of unrepeatable poetry. Seme's world is as beautiful and clean as ever." Prof. Mario Avellino "Seme's works belong to the great school of 19th century Neapolitan painting. It is a world on which it is pleasant to look out to find those sensations to which certain modern schools have disabled us". F. Salerno. "Seme's great merit is that he takes us by the hand to rediscover traditional painting in its best expressions." G.
