AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Lorenzo Gignous (Modena, 1862 – Porto Ceresio, 1958)
Lacustrine View with Promontory
Technique: oil on cardboard prepared on panel –
Period: first half of the 20th century
Signature: signed “L. Gignous” at the bottom left
School: Italian – Lombard Naturalism
Small and evocative lacustrine view characterized by an essential and atmospheric composition. In the foreground the tranquil surface of the water stretches out, rendered with rapid and layered horizontal brushstrokes; in the center, a small rock interrupts the continuity of the lake surface, while on the right a rocky promontory covered in vegetation emerges.
The palette, deliberately restrained in greys, greens, browns and dulled blues, yields a veiled, nearly autumnal luminosity. The painting is concise and immediate, with particular attention to the effects of light on the water: a hallmark of Gignous’s landscape research, in which luminosity variation plays a central role.
The subject is fully coherent with the artist’s repertoire, who repeatedly painted Lake Maggiore, the Ticino, and landscapes of the Varese area; lacustrine views are, in fact, one of the most recognizable cores of his output.
Measurements: 27.5 x 24 cm framed
Painting: 17 x 14 cm

Condition report
The work appears in fair to good overall conservational condition, compatible with its age. The paint surface shows widespread signs of time, with superficial deposits, slight abrasions, and minor color alterations, more noticeable in the light areas of the sky and the water surface. Minute stains and superficial marks are also observed. The paint material appears, overall, legible and adequately stable.
*** Photographic note
The photographs of the work were taken with professional studio lighting and spotlights to allow better legibility of the composition, details, and paint matter. This lighting may cause slight variations in color perception and brightness compared with viewing the work directly. The photographs are for illustrative and documentary purposes only.
*** Note on the frame:
The frame is attached to the work as a courtesy gift and without any economic value attribution. Given its antiquity and natural fragility, any damage, detachments, breaks, or losses that occur during transport and attributed solely to the frame cannot be grounds for refund or compensation.
Ideal for collecting and investment
With certificate of sale and lawful provenance in accordance with the law - Expertise
Professional packing and insured shipment according to the estimated value
