Adriano Gajoni

Oil on hardboard. Signed lower right.
Born in Milan in 1913, and educated at the Brera Academy (where he later became a teacher), Adriano Gajoni became passionate about the study of seventeenth-century Lombard painters and Dutch and Flemish painting of the seventeenth century, by whose meticulous realism he was inspired. Strictly figurative, Il Gajoni favored landscapes, portraits and above all still lifes, which he expressed in fairy-tale and allegorical compositions. He mainly practiced oil painting on wood and hardboard.
This painting also presents a landscape with an ancient feel: in the countryside, on the path that runs alongside a wide river, a pastoral figure passes on his donkey, followed by his small herd.
The work is presented in a period frame.
