Landscape

An anomalous figure in the Lombard artistic scene, the descendent of a noble family, who was supposed to become a lawyer, though passion for painting prevailed leading him to depict the world he knew so well, in ample country scenes or illustrating the humble lives of workmen. His work cannot be defined as being part of a specific style, and his paintings are influenced both by Verism, that looks to the past, and by a sensibility that displays a more sincere immediacy. The large work we can admire here presents a particular luminosity, inspired both by 18th century landscapes and by the innovative genius of Corot. The figures present serve only to situate, in a romantic way, the relationship between man and nature, dominating though placid, rhythmed by the big trees that welcome and break the rays of light.
