SILVER Seller in Alessandria, Italy
Oil painting on cardboard depicting a glimpse of a garden and farmhouse made by Silvio Poma in the late 19th century. Sold with wooden frame that has some flaws. Poma (1840-1932) is considered one of the major landscape painters of late 19th-century Lombard Verismo. In the early part of his life he devoted himself to a military career, actively participating in the Second War of Independence and later becoming a second lieutenant in the campaign against post-unification brigandage. Due to malaria, he is forced to temporarily leave the military and in the Tremiti Islands begin his artistic training and first production characterized by landscapes. He re-enlisted for the Third War of Independence but decided to leave the army for good in 1869; from now on the artistic phase of his life effectively began.
