AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antonio Gariazzo. Biella, 1879–1956 Rom.
Religious procession against an Alpine backdrop.
Oil on canvas.
Signed. On canvas. 68.5 x 116 cm (27 x 45.7 in). Framed: 94 x 129 cm (37 x 50.8 in).
Antonio Gariazzo is regarded as a significant representative of Italian genre painting of the early 20th century, whose work is deeply rooted in the depiction of regional traditions and the spiritual life. His oeuvre is characterized by a masterful fusion of realistic observational acuity and an atmospherically dense, almost Late Romantic lighting.
Atmospheric mastery and chromatic depth: The work stands out for its virtuoso handling of chiaroscuro, in which the glowing late-afternoon light effectively models the textures of the stone architecture and the white garments of the procession participants.
• Central motif of sacred folklore: The depiction of a solemn procession in front of a massive Alpine farm marks a core motif in Gariazzo's oeuvre, in which he thematizes the symbiosis between pristine nature and deeply devout popular piety.
Biographical testimony of Alpine connectedness: The painting reflects Gariazzo's close bond with the mountain regions of his North Italian homeland and serves as an intimate testament to a vanishing rural way of life.
Iconography of transition: The composition leads the eye along the fence into the depth of the picture space, where the procession can be interpreted as a metaphor for the path of life and the constancy of faith amid the towering mountain silhouette.
Market exclusivity: Large-format, narratively complex compositions by Gariazzo of this museum-quality level rarely enter the international art market and represent an extraordinary acquisition for collectors of Italian Twentieth Century painting.
Seller's Story
Art dealing has been in our family: my grandfather was an art dealer, and my mother is an antique dealer. In 2017, I continued this tradition and founded the Antoni Art Dealership—with the goal of making high-quality European art accessible to a new audience. Since then, we have passionately dedicated ourselves to trading paintings from the 19th century to the present. Our portfolio is complemented by our own gallery for contemporary art, where we present and promote current artistic positions.
Our expertise, cross-generational experience, and a carefully curated selection make us a special address for collectors, art lovers, and the curious.
