E. Pastorio Oil on Canvas Italy XX Century

Oil on canvas board.
Signed lower right.
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.
Less frequent in his production are floral subjects, such as this composition of variegated flowers in vases, which nonetheless reflect all the artist's expressive capacity and his skilful use of colour.
The work, coming from a private collection, is presented in a frame.
