20th Century Plain Landscape Oil on Canvas by Giuseppe Pessina

About the Item

Giuseppe Pessina (Milan, 1893 - Italy, 1967) Plain landscape Oil on canvas, cm 70 x 100 With frame, cm 94 x 123 Signed at the bottom right Born on 16 December, Pessina was born and trained in Milan, famous for its evocative views of the Lombard Alps and the territories of the Bergamo valleys. He studied at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, following the courses of the portraitist Antonio Ambrogio Alciati, similar to Cremona and Boldini for the pasty dough, and Giuseppe Palanti, as well as painter, set designer, publicist and figurinist dedicated to the applied arts. The rich differentiation of doctrine was followed by the desire to participate in the major exhibitions of the time: in 1924 the artist attended the Exhibition of the Portrait of Monza, followed by the Exhibition of Fighters. In 1930 he was among the benches of the Milan Permanent; he exhibited his art also later, at the Exhibition of the Navigli and the Exhibition of the Society for Fine Arts and Permanent Exhibition of Milan (1938) with the painting Giardino a primavera. The Demonstrations of the Milanese Artistic Family kept the artist busy until July 1944, when Pessina had the opportunity to organize his first solo exhibition at the Ranzini gallery in Milan. The bucolic aspect of the present is surpassed by the natural fact of the hard work of two peasants. Immersed in the idle landscape of the plain, made of bare trees, fields and hay sheaves, the figurines made with a few touches of brush bring dynamism to a world suspended from haze.

  • 18th Century Portraits of Women Couple of Paintings in Oil on Canvas by Bertoli
    Located in Milan, IT
    Antonio Bertoli (active between 1829 - 1842) Portraits of women (2) Oil on canvas, 41.5 x 31 cm With frame 52 x 42.5 cm Signed below A. Bertoli The two portraits examined here are by the hand of the artist Antonio Bertoli, a painter active in Florence between 1829 - 1842. He trained at the Florentine Academy, where in 1832 he obtained the prize for the nude in drawing. At the academic exhibitions of the following years he exhibited mainly portraits, including a representation of Nicolò Macchiavelli executed in 1837. An eclectic artist, he experimented with different genres: for the Villa Puccini di Scornio in Pistoia, in 1838, he was commissioned to create a history picture, The death of Francesco Ferrucci (Pistoia, Civic Museum), inspired by an episode of the novel Siege of Florence by Francesco Domenico Guerrazzi. Instead, two religious paintings date back to the 1840s: Christ chasing the merchants from the Temple and a Virgin Mary, In the portraits analyzed Bertoli depicts two half-length women taken from a foreshortening and a frontal in close pose, characterized by very similar Mediterranean features. In the first painting the woman, taken from the front, looks directly at the viewer. The wavy hair is decorated with a colorful violet and is partially covered by a white veil...
