Description from the seller
Luigi Arrigoni (Piacenza 1896 - 1964)
“Expressionist Composition with Figures”
Luigi Arrigoni is a painter of considerable artistic merit, whose work stands out for its expressive power, the originality of its figurative language, and the quality of its exploration of color. His painting offers an engaging testament to twentieth-century Expressionist culture.
The presence of his works in museum collections adds further historical and artistic interest. From a collecting perspective, Arrigoni’s work may represent an interesting opportunity for acquisition and long-term appreciation.
Oil on board
Period: 1940/1950
Measurements: 63 x 53 cm framed
Painting: 50 x 38 cm
Estimate: 700.00 / 900.00 euros
An interesting work of Expressionist inspiration, characterized by energetic, instinctive painting, in which the figures emerge through distorted forms, overlapping colors, and pronounced contrasts of light and shade.
Animated by figures and anthropomorphic forms, the composition reveals a marked expressive tension, heightened by the textural brushwork and a palette dominated by deep greens, ochres, yellows, and touches of red.
Of particular interest is the freedom of the painterly language, in which naturalistic representation gives way to a subjective, emotional vision associated with the sensibility of twentieth-century Expressionism.
Signed “Luigi Arrigoni” in the lower right, in red pigment.
The work is accompanied by a wooden frame with a gilded, patinated finish, in a twentieth-century style.
In good condition
*** Note on the photographs
Some of the photographs accompanying this listing were professionally taken using controlled artificial lighting and a studio spotlight, to ensure that the work is easier to view and to allow closer examination of the painted surface, figurative details, and colors.
Note on the frame
The work comes with a classically styled carved and gilded wooden frame, featuring continuous foliate decoration. The frame shows normal signs of age, including minor wear, abrasions, and slight losses to the gilding, consistent with its age and use.
The frame is provided with the work as a courtesy and does not constitute an essential part of the sale. Any imperfections, losses, or damage to the frame, including damage sustained during shipping, shall therefore not constitute grounds for a claim or a request for compensation in relation to the work.
