Daniele Ranzoni is known as one of the Italian `Scapigliati’ artists, a term which makes reference to the free-flowing brushwork and thickly-applied impasto which Ranzoni utilized in order to intensify the effect of his works, endowing them with an almost three dimensional quality.
Ranzoni made a name for himself primarily as a society portraitist. He moved within closed circles and was the art teacher to the children of the Troubetzkoy family. From 1872-75 he lived between Milan and Lago Maggiore. It is thought that the present work is a study for the oil version of the same subject in the collections of the Galleria Civica d'Arte Moderna in Milan (fig. 1).
The artist depicts here, from left to right, the Princes Pierre (1864-1936), Paolo (1866-1938- who later became an acclaimed sculptor) and Luigi Troubetzkoy (1867-1959). The children were portrayed in the greenhouse of Villa Ada, the family residence in Ghiffa on Lake Maggiore.
