Description : Natura morta con vaso e violino
Oil on hardboard. Signed top right. Born in Milan in 1913, and trained at the Brera Academy (of which 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, from whose meticulous realism he let himself be inspired. Of strict figurative observance, Gajoni preferred 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. In this still life, a ceramic flower vase painted with eighteenth-century figures is composed on a plane together with a violin, books and a letter; in the background a heavy curtain. Although the subjects and the composition are of an ancient taste, the colors are definitely lively and modern. The work is presented in a style frame.
