An artist with his own personal artistic research inspired by the great Neapolitan pictorial tradition, with attention to the lesson of the seventeenth-century Caravaggio regarding the treatment of light on his canvases through intense chiaroscuro passages, whereby parts or details are illuminated by emerging on the pictorial surface from dark and gloomy backgrounds. A painting that has resisted the new movements that were making their way in Europe and Italy. Settimio Mobilio, a wellknown lawyer from Salerno and an art enthusiast, underlined, in a writing dedicated to him, his predilection for the figure: “the precision of the drawing, the eurhythmy of the colors, the expression of the subject, the finishing of the details, the softness of the colors, the plasticity of the relief, in short, life, are the characteristics of Clemente”.
