They are open and clear. You can read everything in them. It’s like throwing open a window onto a beautiful countryside… in Carcano, truth at any cost; in Bazzaro, bold color above all; in Gignous, poetry—a Virgilian exuberance of sweetness that overflows and floods his paintings; the light, the air, the broad and uninhibited style—yet full of subtleties, bold and solid at the same time—form his strong temperament, account for his influence on the Italian school, and explain why many find him more appealing than Carcano, who, despite his livelier and more vibrant effects, his masterful brushwork, and his surprising perspective, appears in comparison to Gignous to possess a cold and measured solemnity” (Virgilio Colombo, *Lombard Artists in Venice*, 1895).
