AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Oil painting on cardboard titled 'La Carrozzella' by Antonio Asturi
This painting depicts a traditional Sicilian cart, an iconic subject of Italian folkloristic culture from the late 19th to the early 20th century. Antonio Asturi (1904-1986), a self-taught painter from Vico Equense, was deeply influenced by the Neapolitan master Antonio Mancini and became famous for his figurative painting and his ability to capture light. The theme of the cart, as in this work, was one of his most requested and appreciated subjects both in Italy and abroad.
This type of work is particularly sought after by collectors of Italian 20th-century art and by enthusiasts of the Neapolitan school. Asturi's paintings are valued for their technical quality, the masterful use of light, and their documentary value of daily life scenes from the era. The original gold frame in Baroque style adds further prestige and aesthetic value to the whole piece, making the work especially attractive to collectors and museums dedicated to regional Italian art.
Dimensions with frame (provided as a courtesy): 32.5 × 37 × 5
