AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique painting by Voltolino Fontani
Antique painting created using the oil-on-canvas technique, characterized by a tactile, vibrant surface, with free and overlapping brushstrokes that build the composition through rapid touches and chromatic impastos. The technique highlights an expressive pictorial language, typical of the artist's twentieth-century exploration, with particular attention to the effects of light, reflections, and the atmospheric rendering of the landscape.
The work depicts a riverside view with a bridge and an embankment path, animated by trees and architecture barely hinted at, immersed in a soft and dynamic light. The scene is constructed in successive planes, with a perspective that guides the eye along the course of the water, creating depth and movement.
The painting is attributed to Voltolino Fontani, an Italian artist born in 1920 and who died in 1976, known for his intense and tactile painting, capable of merging landscape and emotional sensation. The work is completed by an elegant frame with a gilded profile and a mat, which further enhances the pictorial composition without altering its visual balance.
A work of great charm, ideal for collectors and lovers of Italian painting of the twentieth century.
