Lorenzo Gignous (1862-1958) - Veduta lacustre con promontorio - NO RESERVE

Lorenzo Gignous (Modena, 1862 – Porto Ceresio, 1958) Lacustrine View with Promontory Technique: oil on cardboard prepared on panel – Period: first half of the 20th century Signature: signed “L. Gignous” at the bottom left School: Italian – Lombard Naturalism Small and evocative lacustrine view characterized by an essential and atmospheric composition. In the foreground the tranquil surface of the water stretches out, rendered with rapid and layered horizontal brushstrokes; in the center, a small rock interrupts the continuity of the lake surface, while on the right a rocky promontory covered in vegetation emerges. The palette, deliberately restrained in greys, greens, browns and dulled blues, yields a veiled, nearly autumnal luminosity. The painting is concise and immediate, with particular attention to the effects of light on the water: a hallmark of Gignous’s landscape research, in which luminosity variation plays a central role. The subject is fully coherent with the artist’s repertoire, who repeatedly painted Lake Maggiore, the Ticino, and landscapes of the Varese area; lacustrine views are, in fact, one of the most recognizable cores of his output.
