AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Gianfranco Campestrini (Milan, February 15, 1901 – Milan, June 11, 1979)
“ The recovering little grandson ”
Large oil on canvas of museum-quality dimensions - signed work / title and references on the back
Dimensions: 161 x 143 cm including the frame
Canvas: 117 x 100 cm
The painter Gianfranco Campestrini's style relies heavily on color and brushwork. The brushstroke is rapid and cursive, outlining the landscape with great freshness and immediacy. Through quick hatch strokes the painter fills the scene with luminous and atmospheric vibrations, giving an immediate image of the view. The entire surface of the canvas is unified by a strong chromatic coherence, and the space, freed from the bounds of perspective, is identified through the tonal transitions of color.
Gianfranco Campestrini was a Milanese painter born in 1901 and who died in 1979. He trained at the Accademia di Brera under Cesare Tallone, Ambrogio Alciati, and his father, Alcide Davide Campestrini. He taught for many years, at Brera's Scuola degli Artefici and at the Liceo Artistico delle Orsoline. He dedicated himself mainly to landscape and portrait. Some of his works are kept in the Quadreria dei benefattori of the Ospedale Maggiore and in the art collections of the Fondazione Cariplo.
