"" Pasture In The High Mountains " Oil On Canvas By C. Maggi"
An expression of technical mastery, the ability to draw strength and brilliance from strongly pigmented colours, Cesare Maggi's work dated 1912 belongs to the Divisionism of the early 20th century, In this painting the inspiration from Fornara is clear, Maggi creates a scenario that does not want to fully reflect the real landscape, Maggi creates a setting that does not seek to fully reflect the real landscape, but allows the viewer to dream and imagine, thanks also to the colours which, as well as being textural, interwoven and deep, are juxtaposed and not mixed on the canvas.
