An Ottone Rosai painting of quiet intensity<\/h3>\n

Il cancello<\/em> is an Ottone Rosai painting that finds its subject in an ordinary entrance. A closed brown gate stands between pale walls, while dense foliage rises above it. Glimpses of light appear through the bars, drawing the eye toward the garden beyond.<\/p>\n

The composition balances the upright rhythm of the gate with the softer shapes of the trees. Deep greens and blue-gray shadows contrast with the warm brown of the entrance. Meanwhile, the pale foreground gives the scene a sense of space and stillness. The signature, \u201cO. Rosai,\u201d appears in yellow at the lower right.<\/p>\n

Date and reverse inscriptions<\/h3>\n

The Archivio Ottone Rosai dates the work to 1955<\/strong>. The stretcher also bears the inscription \u201cM950\u201d<\/strong> alongside the title Il Cancello<\/em>. This inscription is recorded separately from the date assigned by the Archive.<\/p>\n

Provenance and gallery labels<\/h3>\n

The reverse retains a notarial label from May 1957<\/strong>, stating that the painting was found in Rosai\u2019s studio on the day of his death. It also carries estate inventory markings recorded as dated October 6, 1962.<\/p>\n

Labels from Galleria Santacroce, Florence<\/strong>, and Galleria La Chiocciola, Padua<\/strong>, add further evidence of the painting\u2019s history. These surviving details allow the collector to consider the work alongside its material documentation.<\/p>\n

The exhibition history recorded for the painting includes Rosai inedito. Dipinti dell\u2019eredit\u00e0<\/em>, Galleria Santacroce, Florence, 1962, with a catalog text by G. Bertolini.<\/p>\n
