Italian school (XIX) - Scena sacra

NO RESERVE.
Drawing on 19th-century paper depicting a sacred scene. It measures 25 x 20 centimeters; the dimensions are to be understood as excluding the passepartout. The drawing presents the typical style of Neapolitan painting; the use of hatching and shading suggests notable technical quality. The signature g. Gigante is ascribable to Giacinto Gigante, a famous Italian painter and engraver of the 19th century and a leading exponent of the Posillipo School. This is a work of high craftsmanship that reflects the aesthetics and artistic sensibility of the period. Careful packaging and fast, trackable shipping.
