Description from the seller
Athos Brioschi (1910–2000)
“ Borgo Alpino “
Oil on canvas board
Measurements: 71 x 52 cm in a contemporaneous frame
Painting: 50 x 30 cm
*** work offered without reserve price
Suggestive mountain landscape by Athos Brioschi, characterized by a small village gathered at the foot of imposing Alpine elevations. A road in the foreground guides the eye toward the cluster of houses, built with quick, tactile brushstrokes in whites, ochres and earth tones, with a vivid reddish building on the right.
Behind the village rise the mountains, dominated by a wide and restless sky: the dark masses of the slopes sharply contrast with the snow-capped peaks, illuminated in the distance and transformed into the main luminous point of the composition.
The painting is immediate and vigorous, with a synthetic brushwork that favors atmospheric and luminous impression over detailed description. Particularly successful is the contrast between the intimate, everyday character of the village and the monumental panorama of the surrounding Alpine landscape.
The work is signed lower left and is presented within a gold frame with a textile passe-partout.
The work is in good conservation condition, with signs of age.
The frame shown in the photo will be included as a courtesy gift
