Venezia Piazza San Marco, an original oil on panel by Alessandro Lupo (1876–1953), Italy, framed 51 x 60 cm, signed by hand.
Description from the seller
The painting by Alessandro Lupo (1876-1953) depicts Piazza San Marco in Venice with a thick and vigorous painting technique, typical of the artist. The composition shows a view of the square with the Palazzo Ducale on the left, the column of San Marco in the center, and a perspective extending towards the Grand Canal and the lagoon. The scene is animated by moving human figures, which convey a sense of urban vitality.
The artist uses dense and impasto brushstrokes, with warm colors for the architectures and dark, earthy tones for the ground and shadows, creating a strongly expressive effect. The sky is filled with shades of gray and blue, blended to suggest a changing and evocative atmosphere.
The painting belongs to the Venetian strand of the 1920s by the Artist, depicting urban views with a color and light sensitivity inherited from the Impressionist tradition, but with a more vigorous and textured personal touch.
This depiction of Piazza San Marco is not a static view but an emotional interpretation of the city, where light, color, and the movement of figures contribute to creating a vibrant and evocative atmosphere. The work is a significant example of his mature style, blending Impressionist realism with expressive and intense brushwork.
The painting is an oil on panel measuring 37x46 cm, with a frame measuring 51x60 cm. It is signed at the bottom right.
The artwork comes from Bertolami Fine Arts in Rome, as per the issued certification.
Careful packaging and fast shipping are guaranteed. Pickup is welcome. The item is located in Milan.
