Born in San Francisco, California and raised in the North Beach area, Rinaldo Cuneo was a painter of landscape, still lifes, city views and muralist who, commissioned by the Federal Art Project adminstrators, painted murals in Coit Tower in San Francisco in 1934. His studio and cottage in San Francisco, later in his career, had a panoramic view of the bay from Telegraph Hill. His family were painters including two of his brothers, Cyrus and Egisto Cuneo, and several family members were founders of the Tivoli Opera Company in San Francisco. He served in the Spanish-American War and then studied at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art with Arthur Mathews and Gottardo Piazzoni. He then went to London where he joined his brother Cyrus and also studied in Paris at the Académie Colarossi. In 1913, he had his first exhibition, which was held at the Helgesen Gallery in San Francisco, and in 1916 and 1917, he worked with a tug boat service at San Anselmo. He also pursued his painting interests, and in 1928, he took a painting trip to Arizona. Source: Edan Hughes, Artists in California, 1786-1940

  • Manayunk Tressle, Regional American Cityscape by Pennsylvania Impressionist
    By Giovanni Martino
    Located in Doylestown, PA
    "Manayunk Tressle" is a 10.5 x 16 inches, oil on board, regional, American street scene by Pennsylvania Impressionist painter Giovanni Martino. Manayunk is a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The painting is signed "Giovanni Martino" in the lower left. The following is from Babette Martino, daughter of the artist: Giovanni Martino, National Academy of Design* member, was born on May 1, 1908 in Philadelphia PA where all seven brothers and one sister, Filomina, Frank, Antonio, Albert, Ernest, Giovanni, Edmond, and William became painters. They were under the tutelage of their eldest brother, Frank, who in the late 1920s, founded the first commercial art studio, Martino Studios, at 27 South 18th Street. Besides studying with his two eldest brothers, Giovanni also studied with Albert Jean Adolph at La France Institute, The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, The Graphic Sketch Club, and Spring Garden Institute in Philadelphia. In his mid teens he accompanied his two eldest brothers to New Hope searching for subjects to paint. In the 1930s, he also started to paint in Manayunk, a hilly mill town along the Schuylkill River. At this time he signed his paintings M. Giovanni. These colorful impressionistic works proceeded more thinly painted dramatically poetic street scenes of the mill town. These images developed into impasto laden oils in the 1960's with some of the paintings worked with a palette knife. In Manayunk, he was a common sight on the streets and sidewalks, painting on-the-spot with his wife, Eva...

Many are depicted in recognizable historical settings and this piece is an excellent example of this as he captures a snow-filled historic setting of New York with the calm, endearing charm of American Flags and buildings with snow. Christopher engages his audience with the quick use of brushwork and great attention to picking up the energy passionately of his subjects. The piece comes housed in a dark tone wood frame and it is ready to be displayed with hanging hardware on verso. Art measures 7 x 5 inches Framed measures 8.75 x 6.75 inches Christopher Willett...
