A.Colonna (XX) - Il Casolare

A. Colonna – The Farmhouse (1972) – Oil on canvas signed Oil painting on canvas, signed A. Colonna and dated 1972, depicting a evocative view of an Italian village with ancient stone buildings, a dirt road, and architectural structures partially in ruins. The composition is characterized by a palette of natural tones, with ochre, green, and gray hues, and by a loose, impasto-like brushwork that enhances the quiet atmosphere of the landscape. The work bears the artist's signature and the date 1972 in the lower right corner. On the back is affixed a handwritten label reporting the presumed title “Il Casolare,” the date September 3, 1972, and the signature A. Colonna. The painting is accompanied by an important gilded decorative frame, enriched by dark-relief ornaments and volute motifs, which gives the overall piece a classic and elegant character.
