Lorenzo Delleani's painting “Cows Grazing in the Mountains,” is an oil on panel painting with dimensions of 31.5 x 44.9 cm.
The scene depicts a mountain landscape with a group of grazing cows, represented with an energetic and dynamic pictorial stroke, typical of the artist's style. The quick, vigorous brushstrokes capture the light reflecting off the green meadow and mountains, creating a sense of movement and vitality.
Two cows, one black and one white, stand out in the foreground, seemingly immersed in the tranquility of the pasture. In the background, in a more defiladed position, is a human figure, probably a shepherdess, with simple clothing that suggests a harmonious relationship with the rural environment. The mountains in the background add depth to the composition, while the sky has contrasting tones that amplify the evocative atmosphere of the scene.
The work is dated and signed with authenticity proven by the stamp with Leonardo Bistolfi's signature on the back.
This painting is catalogued in Angelo Dragone's book, “Delleani. La vita, l'opera e il suo tempo,” with the reference 1738, emphasizing its historical and artistic value.
The painting embodies the spirit of early 20th century Italian landscape painting, with a celebration of nature and rural life in a moment of great emotional and pictorial intensity.
