About the Item

Giuseppe Riva (Ivrea, 1834 - 1916). View of the Naviglio with the Duomo. Tempera on canvas, 49.5 x 69.5 cm. Signed lower left "Riva G." This city view, signed in the lower right corner "Riva", shows how Giuseppe Riva, a painter specialized in the rendering of landscapes, wanted to continue the already warmly honored and appreciated tradition of landscape pictorialism declined in the mid-nineteenth century landscape painting. As can be seen in the canvas, the painter devoted himself to the composition of city views, such as Venice and, in our case, Milan. The painting, in fact, proposes the view of a part of the Naviglio, so dear to the Milanese. The painter outlines the city vision through rapid brush strokes with which he sketches the figures and architectural elements following an impressionistic way, not reconstructing figures, buildings and details in a detailed and scientific way. The choice of shades of gray and brown gives the viewer the typical colors of the Milanese city, which at the end of the nineteenth century was experiencing a profound period of economic and industrial growth.
