Oil on panel · 40 × 50 cm
Giuseppe De Santis is an oil on panel by Francesco Ferrari, from the series Grandi Registi del Novecento. A woman stands in a rice field, the crop rising around her, body and landscape locked in one of neorealism’s most famous images.
The field and the figure radiate labour, desire and postwar Italy. Ferrari turns this homage to Bitter Rice into a celebration of De Santis, the land and painted heat.
