Matita misure: mm 300 x 437 Pittore e scultore italiano. Sin da giovane, sotto la spinta dal padre Antonio, si dedica alla scultura e già nel 1827 si fa conoscere per un gruppo di quaranta busti giganteschi, oggi dispersi, a soggetto mitologico e rurale, per la Villa dei Conti Sabatini a Udine. Contemporaneamente collaborava con il padre dimostrando capacità nel cogliere i dettami dello stile neoclassico allora in voga. Precocemente si avvicina alla pittura; realizza pochi soggetti religiosi, si afferma nella pittura di genere, in quella storica e in quella satirica. Con piglio originale ed estroso attira l'attenzione sia di capi di Stato, nobili ma anche collezionisti italiani che vedevano il suo studio come un ritrovo mondano, un passaggio obbligato durante i soggiorni veneziani. Gli affibbiarono il soprannome di "Goldoni della pittura veneziana". Soddisfatto della posizione sociale ed economica conquistata, abbandonò il lavoro a quarant'anni per godersi la vita. Sue opere sono conservate nei musei di Trieste, Padova e Venezia. In questo disegno l'attenzione dello spettatore è catturata dal michelangiolesco corpo maschile di spalle. Il modello è seduto come su un argine di un torrente. La torsione del corpo, con le mani adagiate a terra come nell'atto di sollevarsi, mostra le braccia muscolose, la schiena in tensione e il volto rivolto a destra caratterizzato da una bocca socchiusa, naso alla greca, lo sguardo fisso verso un punto in lontananza e capelli mossi dal vento. La capigliatura è tipicamente neoclassica. Sembra di vedere uno studio per un dio fluviale, un allegoria. Evidente è la conoscenza della statuaria classica Il tratto è rapido, la linea di contorno è morbida su tutta la figura e l'intersezione fitta del tratteggio regala giochi chiaroscurali che mostrano l'attenzione per gli effetti della luce sul nudo atletico. In basso a destra, a matita, firma. Al verso veloci schizzi a matita. Disegno su carta vergellata color avorio. Buono stato di conservazione, leggero foxing e qualche piega. Filigrana: tre mezze lune (Veneto, XVIII secolo) Bibliografia: A. De Alisi, Le arti figurative nella Venezia Giulia, ms. (sec. XX), ad vocem.
Carboncino, matita rossa misure: mm 130 x 284 Pittore e incisore italiano. Si formò presso l'Accademia Abertina di Torino seguendo per tre mesi i corsi di Romolo Umbertalli (Biella 1871 - Torino 1928), essenzialmente autodidatta, ha lavorato con il pittore Carlo Follini (Domodossola 1848 - Pegli 1938) a sua volta allievo di Antonio Fontanesi. Realizzò circa 152 acqueforti e si dedicò alla pittura da cavalletto e al disegno a carboncino. Nelle sue opere, comunque pervase da uno stile del tutto personale, ritroviamo un richiamo ad altri artisti quali Fontanesi e Segantini e per il solo primo periodo, a Fattori. Partecipò a diverse esposizioni a Torino, Venezia e Roma. Il disegno è probabilmente uno studio per un dipinto. Il soggetto infatti e delimitato da una marcata linea di contorno e occupa solamente una porzione del foglio, come se l'autore fosse già consapevole dei limiti della superficie su cui avrebbe lavorato. Vediamo rappresentato un silenzioso e solitario paesaggio di pianura, un frutteto. File di tronchi spogli si ergono da un terreno smosso e più lontano sembrano addirittura mutarsi in fragili fuscelli mossi dal vento. La visione d'insieme è sintetica e una fievole luce fredda, molto probabilmente di una mattinata invernale, genera ombre sul terreno. In basso a sinistra a matita "20-x-02". Al verso rapidi studi a matita di vacche e uomini. Ottimo stato di conservazione, leggero foxing. Carta spessa color avorio.
