Description : Il novizio

Oil on canvas. Signed lower right. Title, date, and location (Nobiallo, a hamlet of Menaggio on Lake Como) are on the back. Giuseppe Solenghi's extensive oeuvre, rich in lyricism expressed with delicate, refined tones and strokes, predominates with Milanese cityscapes and Venetian lagoon views, but there are also several countryside views, predominantly Lombardy, as well as rustic interiors. Here, a scene with figures is depicted, albeit set in a Lombard landscape, with Lake Como clearly visible in the background: on the cobbled path behind the church, an altar boy carrying an incense burner shows it to a young girl, proud of his role! The work is presented in a contemporary frame.
