Whenever you get close to art, you end up taking long walks in which you pass through the halls of a museum, gallery or exhibition, but there is also the possibility that these paths are art trails.
Have you ever admired works of art surrounded by nature?
Here’s where to go to admire works of art in nature.

There are artists who have the power to express themselves with the painting of the imaginative and who are able to interpret reality with visions verging on the absurd.
I believe that there is an extreme need for artists who are creators of images and who know how to look beyond reality and are able to spread messages with imaginative power in the world, because this is the only way to better understand what is happening around us and to taste an abstract portion of that infinity to which every human being aspires.
Here then are three Italian artists to get to know.
Painting the Imaginific
If you visit the Royal Palace in Naples, don’t forget to look for Caravaggio’s portrait, which can be found in one of the oldest frescoed vaults in the palace.
The artist who frescoed the vault, and who painted the portrait of the great master, is Battistello Caracciolo. One of the most important 17th century Neapolitan artists, who more than any other incorporated Caravaggio’s teachings when he came to Naples.

In Zeroottouno’s works, nature is not only the subject of artistic representation, but is an active part, a true creative force that interacts with anyone who wants to tune in to it and to their heart.
Since its beginnings, Zeroottouno has explored the relationship between man and the environment, looking at nature as the protagonist of its own investigation.

In complicated and noisy times, observing Pinto Biggi’s works is almost therapeutic.
His visions instil an inner calm that few works can give, and after all, his references were great artists like Duccio and Savinio.
The secret, I believe, is silence.
A silence that lurks in his works and emerges from them to pervade the viewer and instil that serenity that we probably badly need today.
