A large, splendid oil painting on canvas, a verified work by Carlo Antonio Tavella.
The attribution to the great interpreter of Genoese landscape painting is undeniable, as this important work perfectly depicts all his pictorial peculiarities.
The lively and delicate brushwork, the particular and characteristic use of color, and the inimitable scenic composition all contribute to expressing his finest production. The work demonstrates remarkable pictorial and descriptive skill, and stands out unequivocally from works of uncertain attribution.
The scene depicts a shepherd returning with his flock as a storm approaches.
The village in the background is still illuminated by the last rays of the sun.
A lightning bolt strikes the woods, and the flash on the smoking branches is a characteristic touch of the Master, who signed in this way in other large-scale works.
This is an important, high-level work that, in addition to its undisputed pictorial quality, offers an extremely pleasing vision that can be easily integrated into any setting, with excellent visual impact on a wall.
The written expertise of Professor Giancarlo Sestieri confirms the high quality of the painting.
The canvas is in excellent condition and is complete with a beautiful antique gilded frame decorated with palmettes and neoclassical motifs.
