Oil on the table. Signed and dated lower left. The painting, coming from a private collection in Pavia, is published on page 63 of Simona Morani's monograph dedicated to the artist Primo Carena (Bolis editions), with the presentation signed by the art critic Rossana Bossaglia. The small glimpse of the French city belongs to the decade of the 1940s in which the painter from Pavia, who has always favored the landscapes and views of his city, made several trips abroad, finding new subjects for his works. The foreshortening well expresses the subdued intimacy associated with the rigorous realism that characterize Carena's pictorial production. In his landscapes Carena tends "to capture the atmospheric reality of the places without indulging in descriptivism... but constantly supported by a lyrical vein, which is the underlying motif of all his production". The work is presented in a period frame.
