Noel Quintavalle (known under the pseudonym Noelqui), a native of Ferrara but raised and artistically trained in Milan, was a multifaceted artist. Graduated in architecture, he was self-taught in the arts, but after the great war in which he actively participated, he quickly distinguished himself and exhibited in various national and international exhibitions; in the meantime he also carried out literary activities by publishing various volumes (satire, fairy tales, short stories, memories of the war) and also experimented with sculpture and xylography. His pictorial production, which began as a pointillist, was then influenced by the synthesis of modern painting. The subjects most dear to him were the portrait (with a preference for particular female figures, such as dancers) and the landscape. The landscape presented here - a hilly glimpse, with a wide view that opens from the path under the leafy tree - belongs to the period of Noelqui still close to Divisionism, in which he used a technique with small, almost point-like brushstrokes, giving a greater brightness and surrounding each element or figure with a magical aura. The work is presented in a contemporary frame.
