A superb mid 20th century painting by the highly acclaimed British artist Rowland Suddaby, depicting a dramatic coastline. Suddaby has captured the intensity of this jagged landscape through the use of hurried brushwork - indicating that this was painted en plein air.

Multi hued clouds on the horizon suggest an approaching storm rolling off the sea. The painting is stamped to the lower right and excellently presented in a cream card mount and decorative gilt frame. Provenance: Ex collection of the artist's widow Elizabeth.

This very modern drawing presents a view of Ariccia, a small town 25 kilometres south-east of Rome. The Palazzo Chigi (in which the film-maker Luchino Visconti would film a large part of The Leopard a century later) and the adjoining church are seen from the bottom of the ravine that surrounds the town. This drawing is a moving testimony to the attraction of the city for artists of the Romantic period, who established in Ariccia a vivid artists' colony. 1. Achille Bénouville...
