20th century Impressionist City scene of Paris from the Seine

Circa 1950

About the Item

M. Verani Paris Scene, circa 1950–60 Oil on canvas Signed lower left This charming mid-century oil painting by Italian artist M. Verani captures a vibrant scene from Paris, rendered with expressive brushwork and a warm, atmospheric palette. Painted circa 1950–60, the composition reflects the artist’s fascination with the life and rhythm of the French capital—its tree-lined boulevards, riverbanks, and soft urban light evoked here with sensitivity and quiet exuberance. Born in 1904 in Udine, Italy, Verani overcame modest beginnings to study at a formal painting school, eventually exhibiting in Italian National Salons as well as collective exhibitions across Europe and Latin America. He travelled widely, gaining artistic inspiration from Germany, Austria, and France, before ultimately settling in Naples. There, he developed a lasting affection for urban subjects, often depicting romantic cityscapes and tranquil street scenes. In this canvas, Verani employs a fluid, impressionistic technique that nods to earlier French masters while embracing the colour and compositional ease of postwar European painting. The surface is animated with energetic strokes, and the perspective draws the viewer into a moment of quiet observation—a fleeting impression of Paris, lovingly preserved. Paintings like this are not merely decorative—they capture a European artist’s encounter with place, light, and memory in the wake of a century marked by upheaval and renewal.
