Description from the seller
Oil on canvas by the painter Paul R. de San Stefano (20th century), a work that depicts a landscape of great serenity, worked with a thick and energetic brushstroke that adds volume, texture, and a remarkable sense of movement. The artist constructs the scene from different chromatic planes, where the deep greens of the forest contrast with the illuminated areas of the clearing, creating a balanced and immersive atmosphere.
The composition stands out for its expressive treatment of the trees, whose foliage masses are rendered with thick brushstrokes that enrich the surface of the canvas. The light, soft and diffuse, visually organizes the space and guides the viewer's gaze toward the background of the landscape, adding depth and rhythm to the work. The overall demonstrates a confident mastery of color and technique, characteristic of the artist's body of work.
The signature appears located at the bottom right. The artwork is presented with its original frame, featuring classic lines, although the frame shows some imperfections, a detail that does not affect the preservation of the canvas or its pictorial quality.
An interesting piece for collectors of 20th-century painting and lovers of landscapes worked with strong materiality and luminous sensitivity.
