Michael Battaglia Fine Art Landscape Paintings

In the Shadows of Italy, MM on burlap (Sfumato technique), 48 x 73”, $5500.

Sfumato is a term coined by Leonardo da Vinci for a painting technique which overlays translucent layers of colour to create perceptions of depth, volume and form. In particular, it refers to the blending of colours or tones so subtly that there is no perceptible transition.

In Italian sfumato means "blended" with connotations of "smoky" and is derived from the Italian word fumo meaning 'smoke'. Leonardo da Vinci described sfumato as "without lines or borders, in the manner of smoke or beyond the focus plane."

In da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Critics and art historians have argued over whether or not the Mona Lisa is smiling. This debate is due to the use of sfumato around her mouth, making it a mystery as to whether the shadows are a result of a smile or if the smile is a result of the shadows.
