Late 19th – early 20th century

Oil on canvas

Dimensions: 62 × 101 cm (76 × 117.5 cm with frame)

This refined view captures with lyrical elegance one of Turin’s most evocative vistas, depicting the Valentino Castle nestled in the lush tranquility of its park along the Po River. The work stands out for its harmonious composition, in which the majestic Savoy architecture emerges in the background, framed by a natural backdrop of centuries-old trees that filter the light with vibrant chromatic sensitivity.

The painting reveals an expert hand, attentive to the rendering of light and the tonal variety of the green, with references to the en plein air tradition and the landscape sensibility of the Piedmontese school between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The work thus stands not only as a view of great aesthetic appeal, but also as a valuable historical record of an urban landscape still intact, before the transformations of the following century.
