Figures in the Garden, ca. 1860/1870

Oil on canvas. Signed lower center. Eleuterio Pagliano was an engraver and painter of the Romantic period. He is also remembered as a hero of the Milanese Risorgimento, and was thus nicknamed the "painter-soldier". Initially, he focused on historical subjects with a patriotic flavor, but later his work shifted to Romantic subjects, genre scenes of bourgeois daily life, filled with graceful figures engaged in recreational activities. In this work, Pagliano presents a relaxing countryside scene, with gentlemen and ladies relaxing by playing cards or reading, while children play at climbing trees. The soft luminosity, the harmonious colors of the figures, which harmonize with the greenery of the countryside, and the sense of relaxation of the figures stand out, creating an overall scene of serenity and tranquility. The work is presented in a contemporary frame.

Female Portrait

Oil on cardboard. Signed lower left. Noè Bordignon, an artist from the province of Treviso, devoted himself both to easel painting, creating scenes of rural life and portraits of popular figures, with great psychological renderings of some of the period's most significant figures, particularly children, adolescents, and mothers, and to frescoing sacred subjects for the churches of his area. In this work, Bordignon portrays a young commoner, creating a portrait of strong expressive intensity, despite the highly naturalistic rendering of the figure. Framed.
