Trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, he was influenced by the Milanese Scapigliatura and by his friendship with artists such as Tranquillo Cremona. Specializing in landscapes, Gignous adopted plein air painting techniques, obtaining recognition in national exhibitions. From 1887 he lived in Stresa, painting views of Lake Maggiore and the surrounding mountains. His works reflect an intense chromatic and luministic research, revealing an acute sensitivity for the natural and rural landscape. Size without frame: 48 x 70 cm.
