Description |
English: The two canvases were acquired for Brera from the antique dealer Alessandro Brison. Painted during Bellotto’s journey to Lombardy in 1744, they constitute one of the highest achievements of Europe an landscape painting, while at the same time representing a move in a new direction thanks to the naturalness of the representation and its adherence to reality: unlike the traditional vedute of Canaletto, which immersed Venice in a brilliant and timeless light, Bellotto’s canvases depict a precise moment of the day, investigating both its colors and the peculiar effects of its light and thereby opening the door to the evolution of the genre in the 19th century.
Ever since they entered the Pinacoteca it was thought that they were linked to the villa of the Melzi family, and that the canvases had been commissioned by Antonio Maria Melzi, owner of the villa at Vaprio d’Adda – also painted by the artist – and a prominent figure in Milan under Austrian rule. In reality, recent research has revealed that it was not until 1838 that the Melzi became the owners of the building represented here, which at the time of Bellotto’s visit belonged to the noblemen Gabrio and Giuseppe Perabò from Varese, who held prestigious posts in the administration of the city and above all had friendly relations with Cardinal Giuseppe Pozzobonelli, a knowledgeable collector who became bishop of Milan in 1744.
Italiano: Le due tele furono acquistate per Brera dall’antiquario Alessandro Brison. Eseguite durante il viaggio lombardo di Bellotto, nel 1744, costituiscono uno dei vertici del vedutismo europeo, di cui rappresentano al contempo il superamento grazie alla naturalezza della rappresentazione e alla sua adesione alla realtà: diversamente da quanto accadeva nelle tradizionali vedute di Canaletto, che immergevano Venezia in una splendente luce atemporale, le tele di Bellotto rappresentano infatti un preciso momento della giornata, di cui indagano i colori così come i particolari effetti luminosi, aprendo la porta all’evoluzione ottocentesca del paesaggio.
Sin dal loro ingresso in Pinacoteca le si è credute legate alla villa – e quindi alla committenza – della famiglia Melzi, identificando nell’acquirente delle tele quell’Antonio Maria Melzi proprietario della villa di Vaprio d’Adda – ugualmente dipinta dall’artista – e figura di spicco della Milano austriaca. In realtà, recentissime indagini hanno rivelato che i Melzi subentrarono solo nel 1838 nella proprietà dell’edificio qui rappresentato, il quale all’epoca del viaggio di Bellotto apparteneva ai nobili varesini Gabrio e Giuseppe Perabò, titolari di prestigiose cariche nel governo cittadino e, soprattutto, legati da rapporti amichevoli con il cardinale Giuseppe Pozzobonelli, esperto collezionista divenuto vescovo di Milano proprio nel 1744. |
