"Mountain landscape, Aosta Valley" - Oil on tablet by Lorenzo Delleani, dated lower right 3.7.97, on the authentic back of Bistolfi. Authenticated by the Piedmontese figurative painters and sculptors archive. DELLEANI LORENZO. Born in Pollone (Biella) on 17 January 1840, died in Turin on 13 November 1908. He studied at the Albertina Academy, a pupil of Gamba for drawing, then of Carlo Arienti and Andrea Gastaldi, graduating in 1862 when he had already made his debut as Promoter of Fine Arts in 1855 and established itself in 1860 with an episode of the siege of Ancona. According to the romantic interests of his time, he initially dedicated himself to painting of historical re-enactment, to achieve more spontaneous research on the truth with interior studies, environment and views of Genoa, Venice and the surroundings of Turin, as well as Pollone and Paris. At the national exhibition in Turin in 1880 the Ministry of Grace and Justice purchased the vast canvas Caterina Grimani Dogaressa, while critics showed that they preferred In the garden. The following year, in Milan, alongside Sebastiano Veniero who presented the prisoners of Lepanto, he exhibited Quies, who earned him numerous acclaim, such as to induce him to abandon historical subjects to devote himself to the landscape, establishing himself for his genuineness and brightness. In addition to the large canvases destined for numerous national and international exhibitions, in which he participated in Italy and abroad, Delleani linked his name to a vast pictorial production made almost exclusively on small panels, "among the most convincing things in the Italian landscape of that age » (Lavagnino). Among his disciples we mention: Giuseppe Bozzalla, Sofia of Bricherasio, Giuseppe Buscaglione, Luigi Cantò, Giuseppe A. Levis, Angela Meucci, Camilla Bergonzio, Emilia Ferrettini Rossotti, Enrico Reycend. Delleani was in Paris and Bern in 1878, in Holland in 1883, Switzerland in 1892, but for his paintings he aimed above all at the reasons that nature and the environment could suggest to him during his periodic stays in the Biella area, in Venice, in Rome, on the Riviera , in the Monferrato.
