Giacomo Bertucci (1903-1982) - Paesaggio Bernese - La neve a Langnau

Important and luminous original oil painting on canvas by the Italian master Giacomo Bertucci (Bardi 1903 – Milan 1982), signed and dated 1965.

The artwork and the artist:
Allievo of Francesco Ghittoni and Aldo Carpi at the Brera Academy in Milan (where he taught for more than twenty years at the Liceo Artistico), Giacomo Bertucci is a historically recognized exponent of Lombard and Emilian figurative art of the twentieth century, with works housed in prestigious public collections including the Galleria d'Arte Moderna Ricci Oddi in Piacenza.

In this evocative winter scene dedicated to the Swiss landscape of Langnau im Emmental (Bern Canton), Bertucci expresses all his atmospheric sensitivity through a loose, vibrant, and luminous brushstroke, played with the delicate tones of whites, blues, and wintry browns.

Authenticity and autograph inscriptions:
The work is signed and dated by the artist in brushstroke in the lower left corner ("Bertucci 65").
The back of the canvas preserves all the original autograph inscriptions by the author that certify its authenticity and direct provenance from his historic Milan studio:

• On the canvas: "Pitt. Bertucci Giacomo - Via Vallazze 20 Milano - tel 2361095"

• On the upper edge of the canvas over the frame: autograph title "Paesaggio bernese - La neve a Langnau" with archive/exhibition number "10" (also repeated on the vintage paper label affixed to the back).
