About the Item

Still Life is a modern artwork realized by the Italian artist Franco Girosi in 1927. Oil on canvas. Hand-signed and dated on the lower left corner: Franco Girosi 1927. A wood frame is included. Good conditions: slight craquelet is present on the lower right corner. Still Life is an interesting work on canvas depicting a wood basket poured on the table with green grapes and pomegranates. In the background a white curtain on the right side. This work has been realized by the Italian artist Franco Girosi (Naples, 1896 - Naples, 1987). The artist did not have an academic background, but he brilliantly completed his classical studies in 1915 and attended the free sculpture course at the Art Institute of Naples at the same time. Following the will of his father, who hindered his artistic vocation, he entered the navy, where he reached the rank of captain at nineteen. He participated in the First World War and in the Fiume battle, during which he friend of Gabriele D'Annunzio. The classical studies and the long years spent at sea profoundly marked his poetics and art, since the sea and the love for the ancient, fossils and shells were dominant iconographic themes throughout his long career as an artist. In 1923, he moved to Rome, where he rented the studio of Giorgio De Chirico who, meanwhile, had moved to Paris. In Rome, attending the free school in the artistic circle, he became friend of Fausto Pirandello and Marino Marini. He also came into contact with Mario Broglio, Antonello Trombadori and Giuseppe Capogrossi. He returned to Naples in 1927, where he carried out an intense activity for the local artistic renewal. At the end of the 1920s, he painted numerous Capri landscapes, innovative in terms of volumetric yield and dense colors, aimed by the vision in a motionless and fantastic atmosphere.

    By Bruno Croatto
    Located in Roma, IT
    In this work we find the image of the Buddha and several pomegranates, symbolizing fertility. The choice of combining objects and materials of different nature becomes an unmistakable feature of his style. A taste for the intrinsic qualities of different materials, specifically chosen for their characteristics of gloss transparency and sphericity, not least, the optical precision with which the different surfaces are rendered. Croatto creates images where reality is transformed into a magical and suspended atmosphere. Bruno Croatto...

    Joran van der Haar Red vases with Tulips 120 x 120 cm ( framed 130 x 130 cm, frame is included in price) oil on canvas The realistic painted "17th century style' bouquets by Joran van der Haar, are always an eye-catcher in our gallery. The colorful bouquets look natural but have a long history of months of meticulous and layered work. It is sometimes difficult to predict when Joran's work can withstand its own "test of criticism". In addition, the layered work with oil paint sometimes also ensures long drying times. Shortening this is undesirable. In 2014 the artist started experimenting and painting with oil paint, flowers and insects soon turned out to be his preference. Again, this was a source of inspiration. The artist about his work: ‘In the Rijksmuseum and Mauritshuis I found the still lifes of Jan Davidsz. de Heem, Jan van Huysum and Ambrosius Bosschaert...
