About the Item

Giuseppe Penuti Portrait Of Gentleman With Dog Bracco 1868 oil painting on canvas depicting a man in elegant dark clothes embellished with jewelry, brooches, and watches. The man is portrayed sitting in a garden while stroking the head of a hunting dog, a pointer, resting on his knee. The painting is reframed, comes from a private collection in Milan, and is unframed, in good state of preservation apart from a minimal canvas tear at lower left, which will be repaired. It is signed in cursive G. Penuti 1868 in red at lower right. The work is rendered with extraordinary attention to detail that gives the portrait a high pictorial quality. Every element is depicted with meticulous precision, from the jewelry to the facial expression, but it is especially the dog in the foreground, tenderly caressed by its owner that underscores the emotional intensity and the supportive bond between the two. Giuseppe Penuti (1810-1877) was an Italian painter of the Neoclassical period, active in Milan and known for his portraits, although he also painted historical works, views, and genre subjects. During his last decade, he also created some animal studies. He studied in his hometown of Milan at the Brera Academy under Luigi Sabatelli. He presented his first works in 1833 in Milan and exhibited until 1876. Giuseppe Penuti's style is characterized by neoclassical form, with a focus on portraits and historical works. His training at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts enabled him to develop his artistic skills and create high-quality works. His works can be seen in many public and private collections, including the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Milan and the Pinacoteca di Vicenza.
