With a passion that encompassed both painting and sculpture, Rubaldo Merello (1872-1922) left a lasting mark on the Italian art scene during his active creative years. Born in the high mountains of Montespluga, Merello began his artistic career in the vibrant coastal city of Genoa. Here he attended the Accademia Ligustica di Belle Arti, where he devoted himself to artistic techniques that would shape his path as an artist.
After moving to Genoa in 1881, the young Rubaldo immersed himself in the world of art. His studies at the Accademia Ligustica di Belle Arti were crucial to his artistic development. After completing his studies in 1892, he presented his first exhibition just two years later. But a turning point in his career came in 1895, when one of his works was rejected by the Venice Biennale. This disappointment led to a period of self-reflection and isolation that steered his art in a new direction.
Despite the rejection, Merello was not discouraged and began to approach Divisionism, inspired by the works of artists such as Plinio Nomellini and Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo. After years of creating in relative seclusion, his first solo exhibition took place in 1909. With the growing success and recognition he received, Merello finally found his place in the world of art and in 1913 was appointed professor of painting at the Accademia Ligustica di Belle Arti.
With the outbreak of World War I, Merello shifted his focus to sculpture. However, despite the change in his artistic direction, he remained faithful to painting, illustrating Sem Benelli's poem "Le nozze dei centauri" in 1915.
Today, we keep Merello's memory alive by producing high-quality art prints of his works. These allow art lovers to engage with Merello's diverse output and experience the spirit of his works, both painting and sculpture, in their own homes.
