Luigi Prada (1899-1989) - Milano, il parco

"Milano, il parco" by Luigi Prada (Milan 1899 – Segrate 1989) is a work that with painterly sensitivity returns a glimpse of an urban setting immersed in green, offering an intimate and poetic vision of the city. Executed in oil on panel, the painting measures 24x30 cm, is signed on the lower left and is presented with a frame that enhances its balanced composition and gathered atmosphere. The work is estimated between 400 and 500 euros.

The scene depicts a corner of a Milanese park, where nature and urban presence coexist in harmony. Prada carefully captures the silent dimension of the city’s green space, turning it into a place of quiet and contemplation, distant from the dynamism of the metropolis. Trees, paths and architectural glimpses integrate into a simple yet evocative composition.

The palette stands out for natural and well-modulated tones: the greens of the vegetation converse with the earthy shades of the walkways and with the lighter touches of the sky, creating a balanced and luminous chromatic whole. The brushstrokes, soft and measured, contribute to building the volumes discreetly, suggesting depth without weighing down the painting surface.

Light moves through the scene with delicacy, filtering through the tree canopies and resting on the paths and natural elements, accentuating the sense of calm that pervades the work. The composition, orderly and well balanced, guides the viewer’s gaze along the landscape, inviting them to linger on the details and on the overall atmosphere.

"Milano, il parco" presents itself as a testament to Luigi Prada’s attentive and lyrical painting, capable of transforming a daily space into a harmonious and timeless vision, enriched by the presence of the frame that completes its formal elegance.
