AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The dimensions of the artwork with frame and glass are 51 x 36 x 4 cm. The artist's signature and archive data are on the back.
Luigi Steffani (San Giovanni Bianco, February 19, 1827 – Milan, April 19, 1898) was an Italian painter known for his seascapes and landscapes, aligning with the Lombard landscape painting tradition of verist origin.
In Milan, he approached the Lombard naturalists such as Domenico and Gerolamo Induno, Mosè Bianchi, and Emilio Gola.
He undertook numerous journeys to France, Belgium, and Germany, then moved to London for six years, and upon returning to Milan in 1866, he became part of the Scapigliatura movement thanks to his friendship with Emilio Praga.
In 1877, he was appointed to the Chair of Landscape at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera.
Stylistically, it is distinguished by the luminous clarity of the panels, the meticulous detail, and a skillful use of chiaroscuro, through which it evokes familiar sensations and emotions in the viewer.
Many of his works are located at Galleria Giannoni in Novara, Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, and the Modern Art Gallery in Turin.
