About the Item

Original 19th-century Italian painting of children playing by Ernesto Fontana titled Tra i Due Litiganti Il Terzo Gode dated 1893, oil on canvas depicting three children playing happily rolling among pink flowers. The 'work of the nineteenth-century Lombard school is signed on the upper right by Milanese artist E.Fontana, Milan 1837 - Cureglia, Switzerland 1918, while on the lower left edge it is again signed, dated with dedication to friend Prof. Lorenzani. The canvas of this painting with cupids is in excellent state of preservation within a carved wood frame gilded in fine gold. On the lower edge of the frame is a brass plate engraved with the author's name and the title of the work. The canvas alone measures 30 x 24 cm and comes from a private collection in Milan. The back of the frame bears an inscription with title, author and dedication to the friend. For the export from Italy of an art object that is more than 50 years old, a government export license called BELLE ARTI must be applied for from the Ministry of Culture. the issuance of such a license takes about 2 to 3 weeks, which must be added to the order processing time. Ernesto Fontana (1837- 1918) Educated at the Brera Academy in Milan, Fontana followed the courses of Giuseppe Sogni, Francesco Hayez and Giuseppe Bertini, along with such protagonists of Lombard painting in the second half of the 19th century as Tranquillo Cremona, Daniele Ranzoni, Filippo Carcano and Mosè Bianchi, with whom he also shared a studio. He initially moved toward the themes of historical romanticism. He began his career by painting historical paintings: The meeting between Elizabeth and Mary Stuart was awarded a gold medal at the National Painting Exhibition in Milan and later purchased by the British Museum in London. Among other things, he won a gold medal at the Ferrara Exposition in 1875. Fontana, however, was most at home in genre painting, close in taste, and also related in friendship, to the Induno brothers, the true initiators of anecdotal painting. He also devoted himself to the fresco decoration of Lombard patrician churches and palaces. Particularly noteworthy are a theory of nudes that decorated the bathroom of a rich and well-known Milanese man (Marangoni, 1924) and, above all, the frescoes in some of the rooms of Villa Olmo in Como, owned by the Visconti di Modrone dukes. Fontana then takes from the Scapigliatura the sentimentalist attitudes that he translates into the subjects of his paintings in a light tone that is easy to popularize: endowed with a certain technical skill, he also devoted himself to painting graceful and mischievous female figures.
