His works exude the spirit of the times, reflecting a revival of ancient models in terms of contemplation and way of life. The works of art of Agostino Tofanelli represent a search for the clarity and moral attitudes and attitudes towards life that define.
As subjects, Tofanelli has mostly produced buildings as etchings. These are characterized by their clarity, sincerity and tremendous attention to detail. With a fine stroke, Tofanelli reproduces the characteristic features of ancient architecture, temples or fragments of ruins. He executed his works in a very special technique. The etchings are printed with brown ink. This is called brunaille. There are also prints in art that are executed as grisaille, that is, in light gray, or as verdaille, in very light green. Brunaille is a technique that traces its roots to 12th century stained glass made in Cistercian monasteries, where the use of colored painting was prohibited.
In addition, the artist has these etchings brown wash. Here, a very thin translucent lavur (also called wash) is applied to the paper. On the one hand, image areas are enriched with color, creating a beautiful depth effect. A light-dark nuance is created. However, this is very fine and elegant and can not be compared with the Venetian chiaroscuro painting of the 18th century.
In Tofanelli's work, however, the question of monochrome brown coloration does not arise because of a prohibition, but here the brown in its many shades and nuances reproduces a rather perfect color space, which is suitable for the buildings depicted, as well as for subjects placed in the picture, such as trees or people. Thus, Tofanelli creates classic pictorial subjects such as the Temple of Jupiter, Trajan's Column, the Obelisk in the Piazza di Popolo, the Tomb of St. Helena or the Colosseum in Rome as classical and city architectural images.
The main place of activity of Tofanelli is Rome. The proximity to the seat of the Pope gives him prestige and numerous commissions. Among the figure paintings there are very many images of Pope Pius VII, such as a portrait in which the Pope visits the Colosseum. Among the figure paintings there are also a number of self-portraits of the artist at the Academy. In these paintings and watercolors of festive scenes, the academically educated artist shows himself. Nothing is profane or exaggeratedly depicted. The cool and matter-of-fact restraint reflects the essence of the masterful artist Agostino Tofanelli.
Tofanelli was appointed director of the Capitoline Collections in Rome at the height of his career and wrote extensive books containing descriptions of the sculptures and paintings found on the Capitoline Hill.
