Luigi Gioli (1854–1947) - Pelago

Masterpiece by Luigi Gioli (1854–1947), master of the Macchiaioli.
The painting depicts a lyrical Tuscan rural landscape, probably linked to the Pelago area, so dear to the artist. In the foreground, grazing animals gather around a pool, captured in a moment of absolute calm, while in the background a gentle hill rises, bathed in the warm light of the afternoon.
The composition is built with great balance: the splash of color, vibrant yet controlled, naturally conveys the rural atmosphere, highlighting the dialogue between earth, sky, and animal figures. The brushwork, confident and concise, testifies to Gioli's full stylistic maturity, capable of combining realism and poetry in an authentic vision of the Tuscan countryside.
A work of the highest museum quality, an exemplar of the most lyrical and contemplative Macchiaiolo poetics, the painting was presented and sold at auction by Finarte, reaching a valuation of absolute significance, confirming the historical and collecting importance of the artist in the panorama of nineteenth-century Italy.
A work that perfectly embodies the heritage of the Macchiaioli and the luminous sensibility of Luigi Gioli, making it one of his most refined and sought-after pictorial results.Oil on canvas measuring 43.5 x 68.5 cm unframed and 80 x 60 cm framed.....Private collection.....Provenance Important Arte'Doc Gallery.....
