Lot Essay

The Sile, in the Treviso country side, was one of the motives Ciardi returned most often to, painting the scene at different times of day and in different weather conditions. The present work related closely to a similar composition dating from circa 1875 in the artist’s catalogue raisonné by Nico Stringa (no. 385) (Fig. 1).
