Title and date on the back of the frame.
Here we offer a glimpse of the Lombard countryside, with a plain crossed by a stream and surmounted in the distance by the snow-capped Alpine peaks.
Ezio Pastorio, originally from Cremona but transplanted to Valseriana after his studies, is considered 'a great Italian master of the 20th century, who knew how to renew the artistic language of the landscape while maintaining a strong link with 19th century painting'.
His production is post-impressionist in nature, especially in the large landscape production that depicts the Po and Bergamo plains, the Venetian lagoon and some Parisian glimpses, admired during some travels.
In his works, Pastorio creates suggestive atmospheres using infinite ranges of colours, which harmonize and sometimes even contrast, but always presented as a transparency which annuls the static nature of the representation and with a delicacy which expresses his devout religiosity towards nature and the created.
Coming from a private collection, the work is presented in a frame.
