AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare work attributed to the painter Plinio Colombi (Bellinzona, 1873 - Spiez, 1951) painted in oil on panel and in good condition.
The painting measures 33.5 cm x 45 cm.
The frame is contemporaneous with the work.
Son of Enrico, a career officer, and Hedwig Huber, of Walenstadt. Marguerite Petter.
After compulsory schooling in Bellinzona and lyceum in Lausanne, he studied at the Winterthur Technical School, first architecture, then applied arts. After a stay in Paris (1897), in 1898 he settled in the canton of Bern. From 1899 he was active as an independent painter.
Influenced by Arnold Böcklin and especially by Ferdinand Hodler, Colombi specialized in mountain and winter landscapes, finding inspiration especially in subjects of the Bernese Alps.
His luminous, rarefied, and linear naturalism, to many decorative aspects, naturally led him to explore the techniques of printing and advertising posters.
He participated in the most important national artistic exhibitions, maintaining rare contacts with the Ticino art scene.
Provenance: private collection, Como, Italy.
Fast shipping with secure packing.
