Case sul fiume, an oil painting in the 1960s by Scuola italiana (XX), Italy, in Art Déco style, original edition, 50 × 40 cm, signed by hand, sold with a frame.
Description from the seller
EXCEPTIONALLY WITHOUT RESERVE!
Interesting painting depicting an Italian urban scene, with a succession of buildings and houses facing a service area or courtyard, animated at the bottom by plants and small everyday elements.
The composition is built through a vertical perspective that leads the gaze toward the architectures in the background. The palette is mainly warm and earthy tones, with beige, ochre and browns, brightened by the greens of the vegetation and by some touches of blue.
The painting presents a descriptive and immediate character, with particular attention to the rendering of façades, roofs and the simpler structures in the foreground. Pleasant and decorative work, capable of conveying the authentic atmosphere of a twentieth‑century urban corner.
Signature present in the lower right, as visible in the photograph.
The work is presented within a gilded frame, well matched to the composition.
The photographs were also taken under spotlight to best show colors, details and the painting surface.
The work shows normal signs and flaws compatible with time and with its history. The frame is considered a courtesy and therefore will not be counted in the lot in case of potential damage during transport. For each work we issue a certificate of guarantee.
Fast shipping and professional and careful packaging. Each work destined for countries outside the Schengen area will be shipped rolled in a suitable tube, without frame and without stretcher.
