Oil on the table. Signed lower left. Further signature and date on the back. Riccardo Pellegrini, a Milanese painter, was a pupil of Domenico Morelli and trained in the climate of Romanticism. He was a landscape painter and genre painter, but he also created valuable still lifes, with bright colors and precise and realistic design. His landscape production drew on the various places he visited and lived in, in Italy and abroad, especially in Spain and France. In this work Pellegrini proposes a genre scene, a duel at dawn outside the walls of a garden, a rather typical theme of the romantic genre, especially literary. The dynamic figures of the duelists, engaged in the violent and bloody act of the duel, assisted by the godparents, contrast with the quiet of the garden and the delicacy of the flowering bushes. The plays of light and shadow play well, prolonging the shapes of the figures and the vegetation, already with meager outlines. The work is presented in a coeval frame.
