Description from the seller
Carlo Bossoli (Lugano, 1815 - Turin, 1884), Coasts of the Crimea, tempera on paper, 20.6 x 26.7 cm, dimensions including the frame 36 x 43.5 cm, signed at bottom left.
Work published in the General Catalog Carlo Bossoli, edited by Ada Peyrot, Turin, 1974, entry in vol. II, p. 719, no. 21 (1779), photographs on pp. 731–732, no. 1779.
Carlo Bossoli was born in Lugano in 1815. Among his admirers were also the Princes Voronkov, who in 1839 urged him to visit the ruins of Rome and the Neapolitan countryside, where he came into contact with the Posillipo School. After returning to Odessa, he stayed in Crimea, at the residence of Prince Voronkov, and later returned to Italy, staying in Milan and then Turin, which became his city. The desire to reinvent himself led him to undertake further journeys: he visited England, Scotland and Ireland, then Spain and Morocco.
Bossoli is regarded as one of the leading vedutists (cityscape painters) of the early nineteenth century, with unique characteristics in the artistic landscape of the period and an exclusive preference for tempera and watercolor (he never worked in oil). Present and sought after by international collectors, his works go to auctions across Europe, fetching very substantial prices.
This important painting dates from the period of his travels to Crimea and is highly representative of Bossoli's poetic vision and artistic quality.
The work is in good condition. The upper left corner shows a slight tear.
Piece accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity and Legitimate Provenance.
Shipped by express courier within 24/48 hours with INSURANCE.
Please note that in the case of sales abroad, shipping can only be carried out AFTER obtaining the export authorization from the Ministry of Cultural Heritage (Certificate of Free Circulation of Fine Arts). This process generally involves a minimum waiting period of about 20 days.
