Nino Springolo (Treviso 1886 - Treviso 1975).
He is one of the Masters "genius" of Venetian art, but always he lived apart. His stages were: 1907 pupils at Cesare Laurenti, 1908 with five pictures he was at Opera Bevilacqua La Masa; 1909/10 in Monaco; the friendship with the protagonists of Cā Pesaro and especially with Gino Rossi; the early (1909) in the new landscape painting of the lagoon so-called School of Burano; the melancholy tone of still lifes around 1912; the unrest and secessionist symbolic little later; the pointillist period of 1913/14; the violent colors and the first sign of post-war works.
The personality of Springolo matures in the postwar years at Onč di Fonte, where in 1923 the artist has a distinct personality and unmistakable. From here we have the beautiful portraits, the Onč landscapes, still lifes, the Montello and Treviso views. To these characters Springolo will always remain faithful in a life lived under the sign of the whole painting.
