Carlo Antonio Tavella (Milano 1668 - Genova 1738)

Carlo Antonio Tavella (Milan 1668 - Genoa 1738) "Landscape with shepherd and livestock" (The Arrival of the Storm) Oil on canvas Period: late 17th - early 18th century Important gilded frame Canvas size: 82 x 108 cm; frame size 100 x 127 cm Excellent condition Large, splendid oil painting on canvas, a definite work by Carlo Antonio Tavella. The attribution to the great interpreter of Genoese landscape painting is beyond doubt, as this important work clearly depicts all his pictorial peculiarities. The lively and subtle brushstroke, the particular and characteristic colors, and the inimitable scenographic composition all contribute to expressing his best production here. The work demonstrates remarkable pictorial and descriptive ability, and stands out unequivocally from works of uncertain attribution. The scene depicts the return of a shepherd with his livestock as a storm is approaching. The village in the background is still illuminated by the last rays of sunshine. A lightning bolt strikes the forest, and the bolt on the smoking branches is a mannerism of the Master who signs himself in this way in other large-format works. It is an important work, of high quality, which, in addition to the unquestionable pictorial quality, offers an extremely pleasant vision that is easy to integrate into any environment, with an excellent effect on the wall. The written expertise of Professor Giancarlo Sestieri confirms the high quality of the painting. The canvas is in excellent condition and is complete with a beautiful antique gilded frame decorated with palmettes and neoclassical motifs. Price negotiable and personalized payment plans available.
