Oil on canvas. Signed lower left. On the back there is a further signature, title and personal dedication "to my friend Bellani". 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 inherited from his experience in the Savoia 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 about 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 story that seems to always repeat the same drama. But if the preparatory drawing is admirable, the color of this artist has a regality and a sensitivity that come from a musical perception of chroma, where the palette expresses itself in sudden changes, in variations and in pulsating rhythms". The work is presented in a frame.
