In Resting , 19th-century Italian painter Antonio Mancini uses an impasto technique—the brushwork clearly visible from the thickly applied paint—to evoke the haziness between wakefulness and sleep. Mancini combines his interest in the French avant-garde with the rich palettes and dark tonal contrasts of Italian Baroque painting, applying his oils with ecstatic and reckless abandon.
