A 19th C. Italian Oil on Canvas "The Cardinal's Present" by Arturo Ricci
About the Item
A Marvelous 19th Century Italian Oil on Canvas titled "The Cardinal's Present" by Arturo Ricci. This oil on canvas is truly incredible and one of Ricci's best works of art. The scene depicts a marvelously hand-painted Cardinal who is giving a gorgeous gift to an incredible bride-to-be. The gift is a ring, providing the Cardinal's blessing to the bride from her fiance. The scene is filled with an array of friends and family in a glamorous room filled with opulent art, furniture, and clothes. The walls in the room are all painted with putti and birds, and behind the scenes are butlers and glorious buffets of fruit, food, and liquor. The quality of this painting is second to none with the most vibrant and percise painting we have ever seen. The original giltwood frame is still beautifully intact, all hand-carved and hand-gilt with 24K gold leaf.
Italy, Circa: 1880
Arturo Ricci was an Italian painter, known for his figurative subjects, genre scenes, and art of family life. Historical genre, most particularly eighteenth century subjects, perceived as a golden age of elegance, sophistication, and taste, prior to the harsh realities of the Industrial Revolution. The wealthy class created by the Industrial Revolution collected his genre of art, specifically the representation of the pre-Industrial era.Ricci specialized in anecdotal scenes of elegant family life, a world of rustling silks and shimmering satins, displaying the virtuosity of his highly finished detail, composition and sense of colour. Working in Florence, Ricci's paintings appealed not only to Italians but to those on ‘The Grand Tour’, particularly collectors in Britain and the United States, Andrew Carnegie, of steel fame and wealth, owned Ricci's “The Village Wedding”. Arturo Ricci was born on 19 April 1854 in Florence, Italy. Aged 15 he entered the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze where he studied under Tito Conti (1842-1924). Painting figurative subjects, genre scenes and scenes from family life, Ricci soon established himself as one of the foremost artists in Europe in the field of historical costume genre, alongside Vittorio Reggianini (1858-1939) and Frédéric Soulacroix (1858-1933). Among his works: Veduta di Viareggio; Il Ciabattino; Il pranzo di nozze; Il fanatico per la musica; La visita alla figlia; L'ultima lettera amorosa; Risposta all'ultima lettera amorosa; Ritorno dalla guerra; Il pranzo di nozze; and Il Ritorno degli sposi dalla Chiesa.

Charles Stuart "Their Mountain Home" Oil on Canvas, Signed, 1895-1897
Located in New York, NY
Charles Stuart (British 1838-1907) "Their Mountain Home" from 1895-1897 is on oil on canvas and is signed as well as dated. This gorgeous highland landscape depicts a stag herd retreating down the mountain from the impending mists. Stuart captures the swirling movement and material quality of the fog, which obscures the towering mountains adding an element of mystery and magic to the painting.
