1.800,00€
From Italy an oil painting on canvas signed and dated A.Cattaneo 927 on the lower left, by the Milanese artist Achille Cattaneo (1872-1932) depicting many flower compositions within different vases, decorating an interior dining table. The painting is in good age related condition, set within modern giltwood frame, it comes from a Milanese private collection. Bertini’s pupil at Brera was then strongly influenced by the naturalistic verism with a disappointed matrix in the schemes of the so-called Lombard impressionism by Emilio Gola. Cattaneo’s first painting was purchased by the City for the Gallery of Modern Art in Milan. He participated in numerous national and international exhibitions with paintings of interiors of churches and views of Milan, especially the canals, which he preferred. In 1950 a posthumous exhibition of this artist, classified as a good impressionist from Lombardy, sincere, fresh and effective, was held at the Galleria Ronzini in Milan.

A flowers painting, an Italian polychrome roses composition set in a blue pottery vase, a 20th century Italian still-life of flowers, oil painted on Masonite panel, measuring 56,5 cm by 35, signed lower left A.Tosi by the Italian Lombard painter Arturo Tosi (Busto Arsizio, 25 luglio 1871 – Milano, gennaio 1956).
The late work is in good condition, set in a giltwood frame and dates back to 1953, as per the red inscription on the verso of the masonite panel: 4-7-53 A-T (Arturo Tosi).
The Italian painter Arturo Tosi (1871–1956) was born in Busto Arsizio (near Varese). He moved to Milan in 1882 and attended the school of nude studies at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts from 1890 to 1891. He made his debut at the 1st Esposizione Triennale di Belle Arti in 1891 and attracted the attention of Vittore Grubicy, who steered him towards the late 19th-century Lombard tradition. Specialising in landscapes of the valleys around Bergamo, he presented work at the national exhibition held in Milan to mark the inauguration of the Sempione tunnel in 1906. His participation in the Venice Biennale began in 1909 with the 8th Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte della Città di Venezia and continued uninterruptedly until 1956. Tosi came into contact with the critic Margherita Sarfatti in the 1920s and held his first solo show in 1923 at the Galleria Pesaro in Milan. He served on the Novecento Italiano governing committee and took part in the movement’s first and second exhibitions (Milan, 1926 and 1929) as well as those held outside Italy. One of the most respected Italian painters from the 1930s on, he became a member of the Academy of San Luca in 1943. He died in Milan in 1956.
