Description from the seller
Oil painting on panel depicting a still life with grapes by Gaetano Bocchetti
This painting represents a still life with clusters of grapes, the work of Neapolitan painter Gaetano Bocchetti (1888-1990). Bocchetti was an exceptionally versatile artist who studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples and participated in the major Italian exhibitions of the early 20th century, including the Venice and Rome Biennials. His production spans from landscape to figure painting, with still lifes of notable quality such as this, created in the period between the 1920s and 1940s.
Bocchetti’s works are highly sought after by collectors of Italian art of the 20th century, particularly by those who appreciate the Neapolitan school and artists linked to the Secession and Novecento movements. This painting represents a significant example of his technical skill in rendering light and color, characteristic of his lively southern style. The original gilded frame and the documented provenance substantially increase the historical and collecting value of the work, making it particularly interesting for museums, galleries, and private collectors of 20th-century Italian art.
Dimensions with frame (provided as a courtesy): 48x57
