Description from the seller
EXCEPTIONALLY WITHOUT RESERVE!
Fascinating winter mountain landscape, signed and dated in the bottom right “Rossetti R. ’44”, executed with a textural, atmosphere-rich painting.
The composition depicts a stream running through a snowy landscape, surrounded by bare trees and autumnal vegetation, with tall mountains in the background. Particularly evocative is the contrast between the cool tones of the snow and sky and the warm ochre, golden, and brown hues of the vegetation, which give the work depth and a pleasant luminosity.
The brushwork is evident and substantial, especially in rendering the mountains and snowy surfaces, while the large tree on the left guides the eye toward the center of the composition and the distant mountain landscape.
The work is presented in an elegant, richly worked gold frame, well proportioned to the painting and able to further enhance its warm tones.
The photographs were also taken under spotlights to best show the colors, details, and painting surface.
The work shows normal signs and flaws compatible with its age and history. The frame is considered a courtesy and therefore will not be counted in the lot in case of any damage during transport. For each work, we issue a certificate of guarantee.
Fast shipping and professional, careful packaging. Each work destined for countries outside the Schengen area will be shipped rolled in a suitable tube, without stretcher and without frame.
