item :
oil painting on canvas board, depicting a motherhood, signed on the back "anna maria moscardini 66," presumably created in 1966. A fine example of mid-twentieth-century figurative painting. The painting is distinguished by a rich and vibrant textural technique, which harmoniously blends the chromatic synthesis of post-impressionism with the emotional strength typical of expressionist movements. The central subject of the painting is a "motherhood," captured in a moment of suspended tension. The maternal figure supports the child in one arm, while with the other she holds several earthly elements (including a pomegranate and a pumpkin), classic symbols of fertility and abundance. The work is characterized by a dense, almost crepuscular atmosphere, enhanced by bold color contrasts and rapid shifts in tone. The mother's face is extraordinarily expressive: her gaze, alert and charged with a subtle sense of uneasiness, seems to be directed toward something external to the canvas, lending the scene a rare and magnetic psychological dynamism. The thick brushwork and the ability to convey profound pathos make this painting a piece of considerable interest. On the back, in addition to the signature, the painting also bears the inscription "mascetti" in block capitals. I believe this is a misattribution by a previous owner who misread the clearly visible signature on the back: anna maria moscardini. She was a painter from a family of notable artists.
