Description from the seller

Title: Attilio Melo (1917-2012) - "Milano Invernale" (Urban Landscape)

Essential Data:
Artist: Attilio Melo (1917–2012)
Title: Milano Invernale
Technique: Oil on canvas
Artwork Dimensions: 50 x 60 cm
Era: 20th Century
The Work:
An exceptionally atmospheric painting signed by Attilio Melo (1917–2012), an artist known for his sensitivity in capturing the light and chiaroscuro of urban and natural landscapes.
In "Milano Invernale", Melo gives us a cityscape permeated by a melancholic and silent charm. The composition is dominated by cool, refined tones of gray, foggy white, and the silhouetted black of tree trunks that frame the street. In the distance, the typical Milanese city fog envelops the road and monuments, while light touches of color betray urban passage (the parked cars, the street lamps, the statue in the background).
The brushwork is fluid yet controlled, capable of reproducing the texture of winter fog and the damp cold of the air through a vibrant painting technique rich in subtle color nuances.

Conditions (IMPORTANT):
The Painting: The canvas work is in excellent conservational condition. The paint surface is stable, vibrant and free of notable defects.

The Frame: Attention: The painting is shipped complete with its gilded frame with visible mat in the photo, but the frame shows evident signs of wear, with losses at the top.
The frame is to be considered a courtesy gesture, not constituting a return item or dispute.

Protective and careful packaging and accurate, tracked shipping with express courier.
