Verified profile

The large canvas represents one of the most demanding works by Emilio Borsa, an attentive observer of the rural reality still present at the end of the nineteenth century on the edge of the historic city center. In this case, the Borsa captures a moment of daily life at the mills then existing along the Lambro in the area of the convent of the Grazie Vecchie, an area then completely disrupted by the settlements following the end of the Second World War. The work enjoys, thanks also to a recent restoration, a very high chromatic quality enhanced by the wise use of lights and reflections on the water, while the investigation of female figures caught in the performance of quiet daily activities is placed in the vein of naturalism nineteenth-century well present in the Monza artistic production of the time.
