Mother and Child in an Orchard

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Tinker & Toad
Description

A very well executed oil on canvas of Mother & Child In An Orchard by Italian artist Giuseppe Solenghi (1879-1944) signed lower left. Probably painted after the first world war. A beautiful painting where the artist has caught the gentle dappled sunlight falling through the trees on to the mother while her son shelters in the shade. With a lake in the background, possibly Lake Como in northern Italy. Sitting in a handsome gilt and glazed frame, with a deep scarlet velvet mount which sits nicely with the colours in the painting. From 1892 to 1895 Solenghi was a pupil at the Brera Academy, studying painting under Cesare Tallone, sculpture and engraving under Ernesto Bazzaro, and perspective under Giuseppe Mentessi. For a five year period, 1895-1900, he dedicated himself to working on illuminated manuscripts. He began exhibiting his landscapes primarily after the First World War and it is said that Leonardo Bazzaro influenced his choice of landscapes and views. Rather than the sunlit pastoral views, he preferred to depict the humid panoramas of the canals of Milan and Venetian lagoons. He had a posthumous exhibition in the Galleria Boito of Milan, sponsored by the Fondazione Cariplo.

FAQs

Impressionist landscape paintings of this period feature visible brushwork, open compositions, and an emphasis on capturing the changing qualities of light. Artists focused on everyday outdoor subjects, often using a lighter, varied palette applied directly to the canvas.

Oil pigments bound with linseed oil were applied to stretched linen canvas or wooden panels. Framing involved timber mouldings coated in gesso and decorated with water or oil gilding using thin sheets of gold leaf.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural craquelure across the paint surface, historic oxidation on the canvas backing, and signs of hand-carved or molded joinery on the timber frame. Inspection under ultra-violet light can reveal historical restoration or retouching.

Position the artwork as a focal point above a mantlepiece or sideboard, pairing the texture and gilded frame with clean contemporary lines or traditional timber furnishings to create visual depth.

Dust the surface lightly with a soft brush, avoiding chemical cleaners or water. Maintain stable indoor humidity levels and display the piece away from direct sunlight and artificial heat sources.
