Rio di San Trovaso, an oil painting from Italy of the 1900–1910 period, in the Impressionist cityscape style, 50 cm by 70 cm, sold with a handcrafted golden frame.
Description from the seller
The painting, with evident impressionist components, is a work signed by the Piedmontese Giuseppe Riva (Ivrea,1834-1916), who stood out at the end of the 19th century for his lively city views, particularly of the cities of Milan and Venice, as well as for the depiction of most significant monuments of the Lombardy capitals.
The oil painting that we propose here presents all the peculiarities of his painting and describes the view with thick, confident and precise brushstrokes, using the chromatic range that best suits the romantic atmosphere of this particular Venetian corner, "Rio di San Trovaso" which connects the Grand Canal to the Giudecca Canal.
It is accompanied by a handcrafted golden wooden frame completed with front covering glass.
Frame size 85x65cm
Please note:
The frame shown in the photo is included as a courtesy and is not an integral part of the work. Any damage to the frame will not be grounds for complaints or order cancellations.
