About the Item

Giovan Battista dell'Acqua (Milan, 1790-1845) Navy with fortress, 1833 Oil on canvas, 12 x 12 cm Picture frame, 21 x 21 cm Signed and dated on the back Bibliography: Thieme-Becker, Allgemeines Lexikon der bildenden Künstler, Leipzig 1992; Bolaffi Encyclopedic Dictionary of Italian Painters and Engravers from the 11th to the 20th Century, Turin 1972 Giovan Battista dell'Acqua was born into a middle-class family in Milan on August 13, 1890; interested from his youth in the art of painting, he studied under the well-known Piedmontese landscape painter Giovanni Migliara, whose work had a remarkable impact on the young Milanese painter's artistic output. Dell'Acqua, having reached artistic maturity, presented his works on several occasions at major exhibition events in nineteenth-century Lombardy: he participated, for example, in the Brera Promotrice of 1824, presenting two works of small format but exemplary technical skill, The Dungeon of a Cloister and Interior of a Hermit's Cave. Throughout his career, the artist devoted himself mainly to the creation of small-format landscapes, representing picturesque views of his homeland, Lombardy (illustrative in this sense is a beautiful Veduta del naviglio di Porta romana, currently in a private collection), but also views admired over the course of his many travels-the destinations of many of which were Naples and Venice-or fantasy scenarios. His works were a great success with the public and were particularly appreciated by the collectors of Milan's nascent middle class, although critics imputed to him a certain degree of rigidity. This work turns out to perfectly sum up all the key characteristics of the artist's production, such as the use of soft colors and the rendering of a soft moonlight.
