Description from the seller
Pair of paintings – Mediterranean landscapes – oil on copper plate and miniature on 24 carat gold leaf – 20th century
Elegant pair of small paintings depicting architectural and maritime views with a Mediterranean taste, presented in classic gilded frames that enhance the luminosity of the works.
The first painting, larger in size, is executed in oil on copper plate, a surface traditionally used for its extraordinary ability to enhance chromatic brightness and depth of the painting. The work portrays a picturesque Mediterranean harbor with boats and coastal architectures, with a luminous palette and lively brushwork that recalls the Italian painting tradition of maritime landscapes.
The second painting, smaller in size, is a miniature made on 24 carat gold leaf, a particularly refined technique that creates a striking contrast between the golden surface and the depicted architectures. The composition depicts a narrow street or urban scene with a Mediterranean taste, with a warm and luminous atmosphere.
Both works are framed in classic gilded frames with a mat, which enhance their elegance and make them ideal for refined environments or for a small wall in a collection.
Technical characteristics:
• Large painting: oil on copper plate
• Small painting: miniature on 24 carat gold leaf
• Gilded frames with mat
• Subjects: Mediterranean landscapes / architectural views
• Good conservation status
A decorative pair of great charm, capable of uniting the value of materials, painting tradition, and decorative refinement, perfect for collectors or to enhance an elegant setting.
Appropriate packaging and trackable shipping throughout Europe.
