Verified profile

Airy mountain panorama that in an aerial perspective frames Simplon Dorf - Sempione Country in Italian - small village in the Canton of Valais near Brig, Carlo Cressini's gray village appears for the first time at the National Art Exhibition in Milan, set up in the pavilions built in the area behind the Castello Sforzesco as part of the 1906 International Exposition celebrating the Simplon Tunnel, inaugurated in the spring of that same year. Appreciated by audiences and critics alike, the work was excellently reviewed at the time. The episodic character of the representation, underlined by the choice of a recognizable and pertinent subject to the important artistic exhibition, is partly overcome thanks to the extraordinary technical expertise not free from chromatic daring capable of creating dazzling luminosity, as well as by means of the expedient of the slight upper arch which confers solemnity. The attention to design detail reveals the temperament of a Cressini who was later a skilled etcher.
