AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is a beautiful photograph by Emilio Sommariva, the famous painter/photographer active in Milan in the early 1900s.
Born in Lodi (Lodi, December 8, 1883 – Milan, September 12, 1956), he achieved notable successes both in painting (he took part in the Brera Biennale of 1925, the Venice International Art Exhibition of 1926 and, in the following decade, at the Permanente exhibitions in Milan) and in photography (his fame was sealed by the awards obtained in 1911 at the International Exhibition of Artistic and Scientific Photography in Rome (gold medal from the Festival Committee) and at the International Photography Exhibition and Competition in Turin (honor diploma). In 1922 he established himself on the international scene by winning the first prize at the International Exhibition of Professional Artistic Photography in London).
This beautiful image, datable to around the 1920s, probably represents a view of Lomellina, with houses along a river, and on the back, in addition to the artist's stamp, there is a pencil inscription that reads "La magione di Tonio".
Printed on card stock, perhaps it is a charcoal process.
Excellent overall condition, some slight specks on the front and back, dimensions 35.5 x 27.8 cm.
