Edoardo Gordigiani
Portrait of a Doctor with a Microscope.

About the Item

Portrait of a Doctor with a Microscope Artist: Eduardo Gordigiani (Italy, 1866-1961) Date: Approximately 1940 Medium: Oil on canvas Signature: Signed in the upper right corner Dimensions: H 65 cm x W 53 cm Description: This captivating portrait depicts a doctor seated at his desk with a microscope, symbolizing his profession and intellectual pursuits. Painted in a Post-Impressionist style, the artwork is characterized by its bold contrasts and vivid, almost surreal use of color. The doctor's white coat sharply contrasts with the brilliant red background, while his tie in blue, white, and red adds an original chromatic accent that enlivens the composition. A blue-cut crystal vase holding red carnations introduces a refined decorative element that harmonizes with the bold tones of the background. The interplay of shadows and the delicate nuances of the flesh tones, with subtle lilac accents, reveal Gordigiani's painterly sensitivity. The artist masterfully combines these contrasting colors to create a work that is both intimate and visually striking. Condition: Good, with minor signs of age consistent with the period. Provenance: private collection.

Ca. 1820 Portrait of a Woman. Léon Cogniet (1794-1880, Paris), attributed. French school of 19th century. Tecnicque: oils on canvas. Dimensions: 70cm x 61cm 20th century wooden frame. Old attribution to Léon Cogniet (1794-1880, Paris) is inscribed on the wooden frame. Portrait of the restoration period, post Napoleonic wars. Stylistically the painting is found in the transition period from the late Empire period to the beginning of Romanticism. The new artistic trends can be seen in the increased naturalism, representation of the landscape/nature, in the contrasts, and in a greater emotionality of the person represented. Detailed but loose is the way to describe the winter dress...
