Alfredo D'Angelo was born in Catania in 1903 and trained at the Castello Sforzesco School of Art in Milan, where he lived and worked. His art ranged from landscape painting to the human figure, particularly the female nude. His works were characterized by warm colors and a melancholic streak that described the profiles of nature and landscape. In 1956 he was selected for the Milan Biennale and won numerous prizes, including the "Rotary Prize" for drawing in 1951 and the "International Black and White Competition" in 1966. D'Angelo developed a post-impressionist style that he considered the landscape as the protagonist of his works, both as a setting and as the background itself. In his artistic work, the sensitive data was completely overcome by a complex conception, in which the artist's gestures played a fundamental role. The naturalistic description of the landscape was one of the major aspirations of artists of every era, and in the case of D'Angelo, this research led him to refer to a pictorial language of this type. Initially, the search for space was done through Brunelleschi's perspective in the early Renaissance, then through the atmosphere in the sixteenth century and up to the representation of every single vibration of light on objects in impressionism.
