About the Item

Leonardo Bazzaro (Milan, 1853 - 1937) Ear Market • Chioggia 1936 Signed lower right Oil on panel in gilt frame Size: 60 x 90 cm (82 x 112 cm including frame) The son of a cloth merchant, he showed from an early age a keen interest in drawing and the fine arts. His parents, art collectors, indulged this inclination and in 1863 decided to entrust him to the private teachings of landscape painter Gaetano Fasanotti, holder of the landscape chair at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, where Leonardo enrolled in 1868, a student of Raffaele Casnedi and Giuseppe Bertini. Considered one of the leading exponents of Lombard naturalism, on a par with Eugenio Gignous and Filippo Carcano, his production is more focused on landscape subjects where the depiction of everyday family life is emphasized. In his early years, Bazzaro was oriented on perspective views of church interiors and well-known Milanese palaces, with a seventeenth-eighteenth-century verista imprint derived from the master Giuseppe Bertini: his former Brera classmates gave him the nickname little Velasquez, attesting to the strong expressive intensity he achieved in these early stages. In the late 1970s, following the model of Moses Bianchi, he traveled frequently to the Venetian Lagoon and, in particular, to Chioggia, where he experimented with landscape painting, often interspersing it with genre scenes en plein air, enhancing the clarity of the light on the sea and the hues of the buildings overlooking the canals. Later, the acquaintance of colleagues Achille Tominetti, Eugenio Gignous and Uberto Dell'Orto brought him to the Verbano territories, where he reproduced those mountain landscapes that became his hallmark of recognition, moved there and painted the tranquil atmosphere of his everyday family life, thus becoming among the most sought-after authors by middle-class collectors.
