Description from the seller
EXCEPTIONALLY WITHOUT RESERVE!
Elegant oil painting on canvas from the 20th century, depicting a refined still life in a classical tasteful style, rich in balance and compositional harmony.
The scene features a skillfully arranged fruit composition on a surface, with white and red grapes, ripe peaches and a pear, accompanied by a raised goblet that adds verticality and dynamism to the whole.
The artist demonstrates remarkable skill in rendering surfaces and transparencies, particularly in the grape clusters, where light refracts with great delicacy, creating effects of brilliance and depth.
The warm palette, dominated by amber and golden tones, envelops the composition in a soft and intimate atmosphere, typical of classical-tradition still lifes.
The shadows are carefully calibrated and contribute to modelling the volumes, while the reflections on the fruit skins give a realistic and pleasantly decorative effect.
The overall setup recalls the great schools of European painting, reinterpreted with a modern sensitivity yet respectful of tradition.
An artwork of great aesthetic appeal, ideal for elegant interiors and collections devoted to figurative painting and still lifes.
Please note that, given the age of the work, there may be small defects, blemishes, or losses: natural signs of time that attest to its authenticity and history.
The frame is offered as a complimentary addition and will not be considered an integral part of the lot in case of damage during transport.
The photographs were taken under direct spotlight.
Our shipments are fast, professional, and with perfectly protected packaging: thus the related shipping costs.
In accordance with current art regulations, no lot will be shipped outside Europe (Schengen area), unless private arrangements are made at the buyer’s full expense; any extra-EU shipments may be more costly and subject to possible issues.
