Oil on hardboard. Signed lower left. Born in Milan in 1913, and trained at the Brera Academy (of which he later became a teacher), Adriano Gajoni became passionate about the study of seventeenth-century Lombard painters and Dutch and Flemish painting of the seventeenth century, from whose meticulous realism he let himself be inspired. Of strict figurative observance, Gajoni preferred landscapes, portraits and above all still lifes, which he expressed in fairy-tale and allegorical compositions. He mainly practiced oil painting on wood and hardboard. This painting proposes a group of scholars depicted in the Flemish manner, in particular cartographers due to the presence of the globe and the sextant. The work is presented in a style frame with small lacks.
