Excellent condition
Splendid large-sized oil painting on canvas, a confirmed work by Carlo Antonio Tavella.
The attribution to the great interpreter of Genoese landscape painting leaves no doubt, as he perfectly depicts all his pictorial peculiarities in this important work.
The lively and fine brushwork, the particular and characteristic coloring, and the inimitable scenic composition contribute here to express his best production. The work shows remarkable pictorial and descriptive ability, and is unequivocally distinguished from works of uncertain attribution.
The scene depicts the return of a shepherd with his herds as a storm approaches.
The village in the background is still illuminated by the last rays of sun.
A lightning bolt strikes the woods, and the flash over the smoking branches is a characteristic touch of the Master, who signs in this way in other large-sized works.
It is an important, high-level work, which besides its indisputable pictorial quality, offers a very pleasant and easily adaptable vision with excellent wall presentation.
Written expertise by Prof. 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.
