AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

On the back bears an authentic mark of Leonardo Bistolfi.
Romantic scenic landscape: on the right, a castle on a rocky promontory overlooking a body of water, while in the foreground, on the shore, some bathers animate the scene.
The atmosphere is rendered with deep brown and green tones, cloudy sky, and subdued light, elements that evoke the lyrical sensibility typical of the 19th-century Emilian-Piedmontese landscape school.

The painting is presented in a wooden frame with gilded bronze accents at the corners, in a historical style, which enhances the work.

Condition
Good overall condition of the panel, with normal signs of age and minor surface wear; frame with slight missing parts and oxidation consistent with age. Ready to hang.
Shipping outside the EU is not available.
