Giovanni Sottocornola
Interior of Stable, 19th cent.

1800s

About the Item

Oil on Canvas. Signed in lower left hand corner. The work was previously acquired at a Sotheby's auction in Milan 10/12/2007. It was displayed in 1991 in the exhibition "John Sottocornola. Images from a collection" estate in Milan at the Silbernagl Gallery. After an initial pictorial phase devoted to portraits and still lifes, Giovanni Sottocornola approached in the 1880s to social themes, which were becoming the favorite subjects of the young Lombard painters attentive to the most miserable aspects of society, linked to the adoption of original artistic techniques. Sottocornola embraced the practice of pointillist painting, about which he wrote in 1895 "For now it is certain, I am convinced there is no other painting more apt to render certain feelings than this." This type of painting remained, moreover, in the artist all about light, about its uncertain tonal vibrations, as happens in the Interior of a stable, made towards the end of the 1980s, where it is the play of light and shadow that plays and creates the visual effects in the brushstrokes of color played on a few chromatic ranges, those of the browns, expressed in a wide multiplicity of shades. The opea is presented in a styled frame.
