Tightly tied to the need of joining harmony and “lucidua ordo“, we can consider Passon’s main objective as the “painting of the humble truth”, still nature: a genre in which the painter combines the extremes of adorn and sober; the preciousness of sumptuous colours and the elegant simplicity of the single compositions; he stresses the line of drawing, on the research of particular lighting effects, on the representation of different materials so as to render roughness, in an enveloping luminosity which gives adhesion to the various elements of the composition which are never equal.
