Cloister of S. Onofrio 1904

"Cloister of S. Onofrio" is a 1904 painting by Umberto Boccioni, known for his works in the early 20th-century Italian art movement, Futurism. The painting captures a serene scene of a cloister, characterized by its architectural elements, including arches and a thick, textured pillar framing the scene. The cloister's peaceful ambiance, with the vibrant green foliage and the subdued tones of the building, contrast with the dynamic energy of the artist's later works. Boccioni's early paintings like "Cloister of S. Onofrio" showcase his skill in capturing the essence of realism and light, a style that would later evolve into his signature Futurist aesthetic.
