Luigi Surdi (1897 - 1956) was a Neapolitan painter, born in 1897 and passed away in 1959. The first exhibition was in 1921 at the Grigio-verdi exhibition in Naples. He participated in the XIV Venice Biennale and was present in all editions of the Rome Quadrennial at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni from 1930 to 1960. Surdi's pictorial work is halfway between a profound realism and a lyrical sense of representation. The artist remains tied to a naturalistic conception of representation which leads him to describe objects in every detail. However, the brushstroke is quick and synthetic and gives the subject existential vibrations in a dynamic application of colour.
