Verified profile

The lively scene of the Verziere is freely inspired by a place, sung by the Milanese poets, the site of a centuries-old daily sale around the religious fulcrum of the Colonna del Redentore. According to a usual practice in gender frameworks, the Mercato del Verziere is an interesting collective working document. We do not know the name of the quadraturist who painted the architectural backdrops, nor of the still life painter to whom we owe the precise depiction of a myriad of objects, including fruit stands, vegetables and food placed on the market. Another collaborator has placed extras, but the snappy figures obtained from a filamentary brushstroke, recognizable starting from the second row up to the character of the Redeemer, are by Magnasco's hand. These pictorial traits are also found in the two Storms (inventories 1331,1332) that flank the work in the Pinacoteca, typical evidence of the artist's fertile, imaginative visual imagination.
