Emilio Longoni studied alongside, and shared a studio with, the Divisionist painters Giovanni Segantini and Gaetano Previati in Milan, where they attended the Brera academy together. Longoni began to apply the Divisionist technique for portraits between 1890 and 1891. By the mid 1890’s Longoni, like Segantini, shifted his focus to landscapes and in particular Alpine views. Here, high above Valtellina, he would use his concentration on chromatic ranges of colour to infuse the landscape with greens, pinks and yellows, modulating between short and long, thick and thin, brushstrokes to give a sense of luminous vibrations in the alpine landscape.
We are grateful to Giovanna Ginex for confirming the authenticity of the present lot from a photograph.
