Description
Silvio Poma Mountain Landscape with Walking on the Path from the end of the 19th century, oil painting on poplar plywood depicting a path animated by passers-by in a tree-lined countryside in the foothills. The well-dressed people walking and the children playing in the meadows suggest a Sunday day. The composition of this landscape with late 19th century figures is well balanced. In the background, at the foot of the mountains, the buildings of a town can be glimpsed. The painting is signed lower left in S. Poma italics. It is presented in a modern golden frame.
Silvio Poma (Trescore Balneario 1840 – Turate 1932) is known as a landscape painter with a repertoire of lake views, often going to Lake Como and the small village of Lierna to paint, of an intimate nature, also showing the influence of his contemporary Filippo Carcano in their realistic approach. The period from 1883 onwards saw an increase in activity with the systematic presentation of works in national exhibitions and lasting success on the art market.
He participated as a volunteer in the Second War of Independence and subsequently took up military life, but in 1866 he resigned from the army after contracting malaria. Upon his return to Milan he attended the studios of Giovan Battista Lelli and Gerolamo Induno , both painter-soldiers with whom he had come into contact during the military campaign of 1859. He made his debut at the Brera Fine Arts Exhibition in 1869, but the first official recognition only came in the middle of the following decade: in 1876 he won the Mylius prize from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts with a canvas of a historical subject set in a large natural context of romantic taste entitledMacbeth meets the witches who predict the throne for him in the woods of Dunscinane ; in 1877 a landscape by him was purchased at the National Exhibition of Naples by Vittorio Emanuele II . He was buried at the Maggiore Cemetery in Milan, where his remains were then collected in a small cell.
The public purchase by King Vittorio Emanuele II for his private collection will give him international fame among the royal families of the era.
At the National Exhibition in Milan in 1881 he presented: View of Lake Lecco and the tip of Bellagio (called La Punta di Bellagio); Abbadia on Lake Lecco ; Riva near Abbadia ; Lake Lecco in Lierna; Monterosso ; Punta di Palianzo , Lake Maggiore ; at the National Exhibition of Milan in 1883, A bosco luganese ; Chestnut Forest ; Fishing Lake ; at the Rome Exhibition of 1883; Lake Garda ; Fishing Lake ; at the Turin Exhibition of 1884: The Pianazzo forest and the Luganese forest ; Shore of Vercurago ; Monte Rosa ; near Sesto Calende ; Lake Lugano, Agno branch ; Milan National Exhibition of 1886: The horns of Canto di Valmadrera ; Mount San Martino ; Mount Legnane ; Panorama of Lecco ; at the Venice Exhibition of 1887: The Lecco Bridge ; Pescarenico Suil'Adda and Lake” ; and at the Bologna Exhibition of 1888: Menaggio and Pescarenico Heights and Monte San Martino .
