Description

Tempera on paper, signed bottom left. On the back stamp of origin (collection Merlini). Presented in superb neo-Gothic frame. Luigi Bisi was painter and architect; the most famous of a family of painters and artists, began his apprenticeship with his father and uncle, and perfected in Brera with Durelli, whom he succeeded in the Chair of perspective. He became known in the years ' 40 of 800 for his paintings of interiors of churches, and in particular of the Duomo of Milan, which reproduced countless times, with a detailed care and devoted participation, which allowed him to overcome the General stillness of his compositions. Although in the repetition of the subject, from time to time the range of lights, perspective angle, number of characters, their attitude, in the intention of the author recreates a new, intense, yet quiet, poetic vision of the sacred environment. In our composition this effect seems appropriate for multiplication in a neo-Gothic frame, evidently created expressly for you; It is not excluded that the frame has been conceived and designed by the same Bisi, who was also an architect and directly participated in the restoration of the Duomo of Milan, since 1857. Walnut wood is finely carved Gothic motifs around the edges with the lower corners of two ribbons with the words "Te Deum Laudamus", upper corners and two shields.
