Artwork
title: still life with yellow daisies, pomegranate, and fruit
period: first half of the 20th century (ca. 1930-1940)
author: g. Nattiello colosimo (tuscan school / florence)
medium: oil on canvas
dimensions: 57 x 45 cm canvas only, 90 x 68 cm framed.
historical, artistic, and stylistic
the work depicts an elegant and intimate floral composition, centered on a clear glass vase containing a bouquet of yellow cosmos (often associated with a vibrant variety of wild daisies). Next to the vase, resting on a dark surface that creates a delicate play of reflections, are a split pomegranate, showcasing the brilliance of its seeds, and a small bunch of white grapes in the background.
style and light: the painting follows the tradition of 20th-century tuscan still life, evoking the warm, intimate atmospheres of the late 19th century. The dark, vibrant background highlights the bright yellow petals and the rich chromatic palette of the pomegranate. The brushstrokes are textured, fluid, and full-bodied, particularly evident in the definition of the petals and the fruit's pulp, lending the overall effect a remarkable freshness.
inscriptions and authenticity: the work is signed "g. N. Colosimo" at the top right. On the back of the canvas, the contemporary stretcher bears the artist's full signature, "g. Nattiello colosimo," along with the name of the city of florence, a key element in placing the artist within the post-macchiaioli scene or the tuscan trade union exhibitions of the 1920s and 1930s.
condition and presentation
the painting is presented on its original canvas, mounted on its original wooden stretcher. The painted surface displays the natural and fascinating craquelure of the period, attesting to the authenticity and integrity of the paint layer without any restoration work.
the work is presented in a gold box frame with a light-colored fabric mat, which enhances its overall luminosity and makes it suitable for both antique and eclectic and modern decor.
