Catalogue Note Dal profondo geme l'organo tra'l fumar de' cerei  lento: c'è un brusio cupo di femmine nella chiesa del convento: un vegliardo austero mormora dall'altar suoi brevi appelli: dietro questi s'acciabbatano delle donne i ritornelli.

Risulta chiara e distinta la fusione ottica dei sottili filamenti che compongono l’opera , impercettibili particelle di pigmento che si ricompongono sulla nostra retina, con una qualità pulviscolare. L’immagine sembra vibrare, mossa dallo spirito vigoroso della ruralità. Upon close examination this work offers a spectacular opportunity to observe the manner in which Donghi paints the landscape as a perfect patchwork of colour. It is a clear fusion of subtle filaments which make up the work, imperceptible particles of pigment which reconstruct themselves in our mind’s eye with the quality of dust. The image seems to vibrate, moved by the vigour of the rural scene. Opera accompagnata da certificato su fotografia rilasciato da Valerio Rivosecchi in data 13 settembre 2018
