Description : Frutti in un paesaggio

Oil on canvas. Signed lower right. On the back further signature, title and location of the work (Milan Studio). A self-taught Milanese artist, Giovan Francesco Gonzaga declared 'my true teacher is Nature' and, faithful to it, he devoted himself mainly to scenes with horses (a passion he inherited from his experience in the Savoy Cavalry during the war) to landscapes and still lifes, always depicted 'en plein air'. His canvases overflow with love and respect for horses and animals in general; nature is always admired as a source of genuineness, purity and freedom. Vittorio Sgarbi wrote of him: 'Giovan Francesco Gonzaga's wisdom lies in his drawing, which is strong and decisive..... The images vibrate with restlessness, in the sign of man's struggle against himself, in the hell of a history that always seems to repeat the same drama. But if the preparatory drawing is admirable, this artist's colour has a royalty and sensitivity that come from a musical perception of colour, where the palette expresses itself in sudden, pulsating variations and rhythms". The work is presented in a frame.
