Dimensions with frame: 28,3 x 37 x 4 cm Signed and titled "C. Carelli Napoli" in the lower right corner. A closely related companion painting by the same artist—depicting a similar view of the Bay of Naples under different atmospheric conditions and of identical dimensions—is also currently available, offering the opportunity to acquire a rare and decorative pair. This charming and atmospheric landscape depicts a lively scene along the Bay of Naples with the majestic Mount Vesuvius rising in the background. The composition captures the vibrant character of southern Italy, where daily life unfolds along the waterfront beneath the iconic volcano. In the foreground, a bustling open-air market is sheltered beneath large canvas awnings supported by wooden poles. Groups of figures gather around tables, creating a sense of activity and local color. Their lively gestures and varied attire animate the scene, suggesting a moment of social exchange and commerce. Beyond the market, the calm waters of the bay reflect the warm tones of the sky. Small fishing boats and rowboats glide across the harbor, guiding the eye toward the distant shoreline where the city of Naples stretches along the coast. Dominating the horizon, Mount Vesuvius releases a delicate plume of smoke, adding both drama and authenticity to this classic Neapolitan view. The artist skillfully balances narrative detail with atmospheric landscape painting. Warm sunlight illuminates the architecture and shoreline, while soft clouds diffuse the sky, enhancing the depth and tranquility of the scene. The painting reflects the tradition of 19th- and early 20th-century Italian veduta and tourist paintings, highly sought after for their romantic depictions of historic Italian landscapes. This evocative work would make a wonderful addition to collections of Italian landscape painting, Grand Tour subjects, or historic views of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.

Dimensions with frame: 28,3 x 37 x 4 cm Signed and titled "C. Carelli Napoli" in the lower left corner. A closely related companion painting by the same artist, depicting a similar view of the Bay of Naples under different atmospheric conditions and of identical dimensions, is also currently available, offering the opportunity to acquire a rare and decorative pair. This lively maritime scene depicts traditional fishing boats resting on the calm waters of the Bay of Naples, with the unmistakable silhouette of Mount Vesuvius rising in the distance. Executed with vibrant brushwork and a refined sense of atmosphere, the composition beautifully captures the daily life and maritime character of southern Italy. Overhead, a dramatic, cloud-laden sky gathers above the bay, its heavy formations creating a slightly ominous mood that contrasts with the stillness of the water and adds a striking sense of tension and atmosphere to the scene. In the foreground, several fishermen gather aboard wooden boats loaded with fishing nets and equipment. Their colorful garments add touches of red, green, and ochre that animate the composition, while the large sail of the central vessel creates a striking visual anchor. The quiet water reflects both the boats and the warm light of the sky, enhancing the painting’s sense of serenity. Beyond the fishing activity, Mount Vesuvius dominates the horizon, releasing a faint plume of smoke that adds drama and authenticity to this classic Neapolitan view. The contrast between the dark volcanic slopes and the luminous sea creates depth and visual balance throughout the scene. The painting reflects the rich tradition of 19th- and early 20th-century Neapolitan marine painting, celebrated for its picturesque depictions of coastal life and iconic views of the Bay of Naples. This atmospheric work would make an excellent addition to collections of Italian marine painting, Grand Tour subjects, or historic views of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.

"Pair Recumbent Stone Lions" after Antonio Canova (1757-1822) Italian (possibly Florence) Mid 19th Century Alabaster, marble 6 x 9 x 4 inches This is an exquisite pair of Italian alabaster lions on marble bases based on the monumental lions carved by Antonio Canova (1757-1822), the greatest Italian neoclassical sculptor.

Dimensions with frame: 34,5 x 46,5 x 5,5 cm Signed "O. Ricciardi" in the lower right corner. This luminous coastal painting presents a tranquil view of Sorrento, depicting a solitary fisherman working from a small wooden boat in calm waters beneath the region’s characteristic sunlit cliffs. The composition captures the serene beauty of the Bay of Naples, where rugged limestone shores meet a glassy sea under a clear Mediterranean sky. Rendered in oil with refined, impressionistic brushwork, the artist conveys both atmosphere and light with remarkable sensitivity. Soft turquoise and sandy tones shimmer across the water’s surface, while delicate reflections enhance the sense of stillness. A distant sailboat glides across the horizon, adding depth and narrative balance to the scene. The sweeping coastline, dotted with vegetation and pale architectural forms, evokes the historic settlements perched along the cliffs of Sorrento. In the foreground, the fisherman provides a human focal point, emphasizing the timeless maritime life of the region. The painting reflects the long tradition of Italian coastal landscape painting, prized for its decorative elegance and tranquil mood.

This oil on canvas depicts a lively Venetian canal scene and is signed Brancaccio in the lower right. The composition features elegant palatial façades with arcaded architecture lining the canal, their warm tones softly reflected in the rippling water. Several gondolas animate the foreground, guided by gondoliers and occupied by figures, creating a sense of movement and daily life within the historic city. The artist employs a rich, subdued palette dominated by deep greens, umbers, and ochres, evoking a twilight atmosphere characteristic of romantic Venetian views. Particular attention is given to the treatment of water and reflections, demonstrating confident brushwork and a strong understanding of light and architectural perspective. This painting belongs to the tradition of Venetian vedute from the late 19th to early 20th century, a genre long admired by collectors for its timeless portrayal of Venice’s poetic and architectural heritage. Both decorative and evocative, the work is well suited for a refined interior or a collection of European or Italian paintings. • Venetian canal oil painting • Antique Venice painting...
