​A. Marinelli (XX) - Pascolo

Fascinating and grand oil painting on canvas titled "Pascolo" (Pasture), by the Italian painter A. Marinelli, active in the second half of the 20th century and specialized in rural and bucolic genre painting.

The scene, of exquisitely rural flavor, depicts a shepherdess in traditional attire leading a light-colored cow and a small calf along a country path. In the background unfolds a suggestive lake- or river-scape dominated by mountains that fade in the distance under a dynamic sky. The painting technique is characterized by a textural, vibrant brushwork rich in light, heir to the best late-19th-century Italian figurative tradition.

The work is presented within a splendid and imposing contemporaneous gold wooden frame, which enhances its importance and makes it ready to hang.
