AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Created in 1925 by Giuseppe Montanari, this oil painting is a realistic portrait based on a photograph by Francesco Fidanza of Varese found on the back of the panel. The work depicts an elderly figure with dense, material brushwork, translating the photographic pose into a natural setting of hills and a cloudy sky. The figure, dressed in dark, sober clothes, gains monumental dignity thanks to the contrast with the open landscape, while the substantial gilded frame underscores its celebratory value.
The work is signed and hand-dated by the artist at the bottom on the front of the painting "G. Montanari 925".
Panel size: 80x60 cm
Frame size: 90x74 cm
Good condition with defects and slight losses as shown in the photo.
Painting purchased from an Italian private collector.
Shipped without glass (if present) unless otherwise indicated (to be specified as soon as the purchase is made).
Please carefully review the photographs as they are an integral part of this description. Tracked shipping including secure packaging; any duties and customs taxes will be the buyer’s responsibility.
