Louis TOFFOLI
VERY BEAUTIFUL PAINTING "CHURCH SAINT GERMAIN DE CHARONNE" by Louis TOFFOLI (1907-1999) Oil on canvas signed lower right and located on the back. 73 x 91,5 cm Louis Toffoli is a French painter born in Trieste on 16 October 1907 and died in Paris on 18 February 1999. Successively Austro-Hungarian, then Italian, then French, therefore European before the letter, Toffoli declared himself as "from Trieste" and did not sign his paintings neither Luigi nor Louis, but only Toffoli. Toffoli's canvases impose themselves immediately on the visitor, the light is transparent through all the forms, it seems to come out of the paintings and the impression of purity that emanates from them creates a deep intimacy with the characters. Louis Toffoli is said to be in search of an unusual inner truth, the colours and lights vibrating in his paintings make the motifs of the canvas sing and delight the spectators.
