Ritratto del Marchese Antonio de Viti de Marco
Antonio Mancini
In his official portrait-painting Antonio Mancini is generally more closely bound to academic schemata and forced to rein in his imagination and control the superabundance of his impastos. In this portrait he nevertheless achieves a noteworthy painterly result, clearly taking the Venetian school of Titian and Tintoretto as a model.

Portrait
Piazza di paese
Antonio Marasco
The painting dates to the time of Marasco’s most enthusiastic adhesion to the Futurist movement, which he identified with the plastic dynamism of Boccioni. In this “village square”, the painter takes Boccioni’s method of de-composition into crude volumes in relief and a jarring movement, which combines in its “simultaneity” scraps of landscape in the background with buildings and figures at various levels.

Blu verde azzurro
Antonio Sanfilippo
A hundred figures wander in pursuit of one another on the monochrome surface. It is as if they were weaving a dance: untouched by shadow and with no chiaroscuro to evoke their weight and volume, they appear to play at saturating the space in an irrepressible riot of colour, with whites, greens and blues ringing out.

Saint Jerome
Antonio Zanchi
The painting narrates a strange episode in the life of St. Jerome: according to legend, the elderly Doctor of the Church was visited by an angel who announced his imminent death. Unlike Guercino and other artists who treated the same subject, Zanchi does not depict God’s messenger, only his trumpet, visible at the top of the painting.

L'acquaiola
Ardengo Soffici
The portrait is of a young peasant-woman of imposing presence depicted close-up and face-on; she is the protagonist of the scene. She holds a pitcher which she is about to fill with water. Her thick brown hair frames her face, caught by a light from the side which also illuminates part of her dress and her right arm balancing the pitcher heavy with water.

Bambini che studiano
Armando Spadini
Spadini is another figure that occupies a leading position in the panorama of art which Gualino was creating. The Bank still owns two of the six paintings that formed part of the collection and they are among the best examples of Spadini’s work.

Piccoli pescatori o Tobiolo
Armando Spadini
Armando Spadini is considered to be the artist closest to French Impressionism, but his work nonetheless reflects the mental adjustment that stemmed his sensuality and emotional exuberance. His later works, such as the present one, reveal how he listened to ‘the voice of things’ in order to capture their resonant fullness.

Movimento in piena aria e nel profondo
Arnaldo Pomodoro
This gigantic, complex work is crammed with hostile-looking, bellicose fragments; it is a menacing world adrift in a galaxy of the most unbridled imagination. The wall we see is monumental, Pomodoro’s preferred scale.

Processione di ossessi
Arturo Martini
Sculpted in strong relief inside a recess that is lent depth by the play of shadow and light, the figures appear to bristle in febrile animation. An excited crowd moves downwards from the cross at the top, from which the procession starts.
