Alessandro Zenatello

Alessandro Zenatello's allegory is an oil on canvas depicting in the foreground a young girl with a bunch of wheat and a sickle and in the background the landscape of the Berici hills. The painter adopts the viewer's point of view and depicts the early nineteenth-century landscape taken from Monte Rocca in Caldiero, in the province of Verona. It is an allegorical image of summer, the period of harvesting first and threshing later, which was once done with the help of a sickle. The girl, however, has a halo, which brings the allegorical image back to the sphere of the sacred and Christianity. The bright colors and the juxtaposition of cool and warmer tones create a grandiose decorative effect and great luminosity. The work was exhibited at the Galleria Pesaro in Milan in 1928. The work measures 175 x 155 cm including frame. For further information please do not hesitate to contact me also by phone or Whatsapp at 349.7714423.
