Giuseppe Bison
18th Century Praying Madonna Giuseppe Bison Volto di Madonna Oil on Glass Blue

1780

About the Item

Painting oil on glass, depicting a praying Madonna measuring 55 x 45 without frame and 62 x 52 cm with frame by the painter Giuseppe Bernardino Bison (Palmanova 1762 - Milan 1844). Giuseppe Bison was one of the most imaginative Italian painters of the late 1700s. Bison was born in Palmanova in 1762 then moved to Brescia and began to devote himself to painting thanks to the painter Gerolamo Romani. Bison then moved to Venice where he met Costantino Sedini, his mentor; then he met Giannantonio Selva and in 1787 he began to work in Ferrara on the decoration of the Bottoni palace and from there he began a long journey of prosperity, of the search for beauty and of skilful chromatic and perspective games which then gave great fame to the painter himself. In the same year Bison met Antonio Visentini, famous for classical architecture; thanks to that knowledge he was able to embark on a pictorial journey in which the amalgamation of eighteenth-century classicism and theatrical scenography became the rule of his success. In this period of time Bison achieved a lot of fame and success in the Venetian and Venetian markets with a certain predilection for its landscapes. He died in Milan in 1844 In this painting we can see the humanity of the Madonna with an atmospheric research that pervades the entire composition, in addition to the realistic verve of some passages where the throbbing luministic charge becomes manner. This Sweet Madonna painted with a characteristic chromatic - luministic drafting, is marked by a frank and rapid stylistic code in turn characterized by an inventive essentiality and an immediate execution, as it is clear that the author's purposes are concentrated on the pictorial act, with fully enjoyable results both on an exquisitely decorative level.
