AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Sunset over the valley
Technical sheet
Author: Attributed to Enrico Gianelli (1854–1945)
Chronology: First half of the 20th century
Technique: Oil on panel
Measurements: 20 × 29 cm (artwork) · 27 × 37 cm (with frame)
Support: Canvas-covered board, framed in simple wood
Style: Late Romantic tonalist landscape painting
State of preservation: Very good; uniform patina and original filling intact
2. Compositional and iconographic description
The scene depicts a twilight landscape, where the sun sets over a hill and its last rays paint the horizon in shades of violet, pink, and gold. Gianelli masterfully captures the transition from day to night, conveying a sense of stillness and melancholy.
The composition, simple yet profoundly balanced, is structured in three bands: the earthy foreground, the dark forest silhouetted in the background, and the ethereal sky, where glazes create an atmosphere of luminous mist. The brushwork is loose and expressive, with touches reminiscent of a plein air study.
3. Style, school, and comparatives
Enrico Gianelli was trained in the Italian realist tradition of the late 19th century, close to Tuscan Macchiaiolism, and evolved towards a poetic luminism that shares an affinity with the Catalan landscape of Modest Urgell or Joaquim Mir.
In “Sunset over the Valley,” the influence of Corot and Daubigny is evident in the hazy treatment of the atmosphere, but also a modern, introspective, and synthetic sensibility. The small-format work conveys the intimacy of a plein-air study, capturing the emotion of the moment rather than its objective description.
