AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Achille Lega (1899-1934) was an artist trained in Florence and initially influenced by the Macchiaioli before joining the Futurism movement, and later moving within the Tuscan 20th-century environment. 'Covoni' oil on panel measuring 78x60 cm without a frame and 87x72 cm with a frame... signature at the bottom right (A Lega). The scene depicts a hilly countryside with three large haystacks, a wooden ladder leaning against the central haystack, trees in the background, and gentle mountain ridges. The composition is harmonious and well-balanced, with a warm and natural color palette dominated by greens and golden yellows. The atmosphere is typically rural and bucolic.
The painting is set in a finely crafted contemporary frame, decorated with embossed floral motifs that further enhance the artwork. It comes from an important private collection... The frame is offered as a gift; therefore, we do not accept complaints nor are we responsible for any damages during shipping... We do not ship outside Europe...
