...Every subject results paged with care. The colours never shout but they slowly insinuate themselves warm and appropriated to give entirety to the general context of the picture. To succeed in fully appreciating the Criscuolo's work, it's needed to stop to observe how much important is for him to give the correct light to every small stroke that even when it follows one another rapid and quick it always implies a wisely delighted clear drawing... With him the painting stops being model and becomes frame of mind. P.Ilardi
