THE ARTWORK
In Sandro Chia’s Pastorale, figures and animals gather in a landscape traversed by intense colours. Reds and oranges occupy the foreground, while the blue sky introduces a broad, undulating movement. The central figure connects the different presences through posture and gesture.
The lithograph retains a strong painterly energy, in which every area contributes to the rhythm. The landscape does not remain in the background: it shares the bodies’ continuity of marks and colour fields. The image invites the viewer to follow both the narrative and the movement of colour.
