About the Item

A beautiful oil painting on panel by the great early 20th-century artist Oreste Albertini. In this significant work, his ability to capture the calm, meditative atmosphere of the mountain landscapes of his native Lombardy reaches its zenith. The reassuring gentleness that this small masterpiece inspires is due to the harmony of the colours that inform every element; from the church and figures in the foreground, to the placid surface of a stream in the middle ground, to the imposing magnificence of the Dolomites silhouetted against the background. Oil on panel Signed lower left ‘ALBERTINI’ This artwork, never before on the market, comes from an important European private collection and is beautified by an impressive frame in gilded wood, in almost perfect condition. Our company has been present on this platform for many years, with more than 100 sales made and just as many excellent reviews received that you can under our Furniture account. Oreste Albertini (Certosa di Pavia, 28 March 1887 – Besano, 7 July 1953) was an importanr Italian painter. He attended the Civic School of Painting in Pavia and, at the age of thirteen, became an apprentice fresco painter to Cesare Maroni. He began his artistic studies in Pavia, before attending the Brera Academy and the Umanitaria in Milan with Borsani and Lorenzoli, and the Umanitaria with Luigi Rossi and Giovanni Buffa. For several years he practised painting as an amateur, without making it his profession. In 1921 he moved to Besano, where he spent the rest of his life He worked as both an artisan and a labourer until 1921; then, in 1923, he exhibited a triptych at the Brera National Exhibition: *In Val Ceresio*; in 1924, *Grignetta*; and in 1925, *Sole di settembre*. He also set up a studio in Milan, where he took part in the *Permanente* exhibitions for several years. After making his debut as a landscape painter with Divisionist influences, he occasionally also painted figures. With a highly personal technique, he captured in his work the beauty, emotion, atmosphere and life inspired by reality. In his later years, he specialised in painting landscapes of the Dolomites and the countryside around Varese, particularly Besano and Viconago. His works are held in the Civic Museums of Pavia and the Gallery of Modern Art in Milan (Covoni in Moena) His finest works from the first decade of his career are: In Val Ceresio (triptych), owned by the Locatelli family; Snowfall in Val Marchirolo; Sunshine; Sunset over the Gene Dimensions are frame included Under existing legislation, any artwork created over 70 years ago by an artist who has died can requires a license for export regardless of the work’s market price.
