Silvio Poma (1840-1932), Italian Courtyard, circa 1890
This atmospheric painting is the work of the Italian artist Silvio Poma. The composition is captured in earthy tones, and offers a view of a an Italian courtyard. The depiction is almost entirely filled with the surrounding architecture, which is determined by stones and stacked wood in the foreground. In the middle ground, to an archway, the cloths of some working characters provide little splashes of color.



The painting is signed lower right, ‘S. Porma‘. It shows several small paint losses in the central area and along the edges. The varnish is uneven and slightly darkened. Inspection under UV-light reveales some scattered areas of retouching in the dark pigments of the architecture. The reverse is stamped by ‘Carlo Gogiola/Milano’, and shows an adhesive label. The gilt wood frame is in good overall condition with a loss of material at the lower front bar. The overall dimensions, framed, are 45.5 x 58.5 cm. The panel measures 25.5 x 40 cm.
