Large Antique Austrian Oil Painting Italian Market Street Scene Unterberger
Austrian, Late 19th Century
Canvas: Height 92cm, width 130cm
Frame: Height 127cm, width 165cm, depth 12cm
This beautifully executed oil painting is by Franz Richard Unterberger (1838–1902), a distinguished Austrian Romantic artist known for his radiant landscapes and depictions of lively European scenes.
This composition transports the viewer to the town of Palestrina, situated in the historic Roman Campagna. Famed for its ancient roots and the Sanctuary of Fortuna Primigenia, the area has long attracted artists seeking inspiration from its rustic beauty and classical heritage. Unterberger’s interpretation captures the charm and daily life of this Italian locale with remarkable clarity and warmth.
The painting's foreground is animated with a large, vibrant gathering of villagers dressed in traditional rural garments. Some figures appear to be chatting or negotiating, while others rest in the cool shade. Women sit atop donkeys or observe nearby market stalls. A painted image of what appears to be the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child, rendered in tones of red, white, and blue on a weathered wall, adds a spiritual dimension to the otherwise everyday scene.
An osteria, open to the street and shaded by a canopy, sits to the left, with a few figures lingering near its entrance. Farm animals, including chickens and dogs, freely wander across the stone-paved street, reinforcing the rustic atmosphere. Meanwhile, several townspeople can be seen ascending the road toward a hilltop church, carrying items atop their heads.
The background features the silhouette of the Church of Santa Rosalia, its slightly softened architectural details illuminated by gentle, warm tones. To the left, a cluster of lush greenery and trees provides contrast to the built environment, creating a harmonious balance between nature and human presence. The sky above, a soft blue scattered with wispy clouds, serves as a tranquil counterpoint to the earthy hues that dominate the rest of the canvas.
The artwork is signed in the lower right corner ‘FR Unterberger / Bruxelles’.
Rich in character and painted with meticulous attention to both atmosphere and narrative, this captivating oil painting by Franz Richard Unterberger offers a timeless glimpse into Italian provincial life.

Franz Richard Unterberger
Franz Richard Unterberger was a successful 19th-century Austrian painter who specialized in painting the Italian landscape, notably the environs of the Bay of Naples. Unterberger was born in 1837 in Innsbruck. He attended the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich; studied under Albert Zimmermann at Milan and at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Düsseldorf under Andreas Achenbach. He visited Norway in 1860 and then settled in Brussels, where he was strongly influenced by the Belgian school. Unterberger was attracted to the Mediterranean landscape of southern France and Italy and visited the coasts of England and Scotland several times. Unterberger painted his first Italian subject, Party in Naples, in 1866. Like countless others, he was inspired by the beautiful Italian vistas, especially in and around Naples, where he lived for many years. Once established, Unterberger was able to arrange major exhibitions to showcase his works. One of the most famous of these was in Vienna in 1874, followed by one of equal importance in Brussels two years later. Noted for his brilliant use of color and slightly Impressionistic approach, works by Unterberger received the highest praise from both critics and the public.
