Description : Veduta del Naviglio di Milano

Oil on plywood. Signed lower left. The small glimpse of a Milanese canal well expresses the production of Giovanni Riva, who was a painter, sculptor and ceramist. Born and educated in Turin, where he always lived, Giovanni Riva participated in numerous national reviews and exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale of 1940 and 1942. Among his production as a ceramist, the faces of many Lenci dolls are particularly remembered. In painting he devoted himself above all to glimpses of Turin, Milan and Venice, rendered with great spontaneity and immediacy, as well as genre scenes. The systematic study of ancient art, the adherence to the Renaissance ideals of the sculpture of Donatello, Michelangelo and Giambologna pushed Giovanni Riva towards the adoption of an expressive code similar to the taste of the romantic nineteenth century, rather than to futurist dynamism or surrealist visions . The work is presented in a frame.
