Ludovico Toso Tosi (XX) - Navigli di Milano

This splendid oil painting by Ludovico Toso Tosi, titled "Navigli di Milano," captures a captivating scene of an urban navigable canal on via Laghetto in 1800.
On the canal side, old houses with warm tones rise up, with some details like red and white striped curtains adding a splash of lively color. In the background, beyond the closer buildings and a small arched bridge, the unmistakable profiles of Milan are recognizable: a bell tower of a church and, on the left, the unmistakable, almost ethereal and whitish silhouette of the Duomo's spires.

The overall atmosphere is one of serene daily life in a Milan of a bygone era, with a beautiful contrast between the rustic architecture of the Navigli and the distant Gothic grandeur.
