Portrait of Lady - Oil on Canvas by Carlo Socrate - 1930
By Carlo Socrate
Located in Roma, IT
Portrait of Lady is an original oil on canvas artwork realized by Carlo Socrate (1889-1967) in 1930. A beautiful portrait of a woman by one of the major exponents of the association of painters that came to be known as Scuola Romana (Roman School). Very good conditions. Collect a masterpiece of the XX century. Carlo Socrate (Mezzana Bigli -Pavia 1889 – Rome 1967) He is the son of actors and lives in Argentina until the age of nine years. Once returned to Italy, he begins attending the Free School of the Nude and in 1914, he goes to Rome, where a year later he would study at Villa Strohl-Fern. In 1917, he worked for the company, Ballets Russes by Diaghilev; he also collaborated with the scenography for Las Meninas and prepared the scenes for Les femmes de bonne humeur (The Good Humored Ladies) by Léon Bakst. During this period, he meets Picasso, whom he follows to Paris, collaborating with him on scenes from Parade. During his stay in Paris, he meets Derain and other exponents of the cultural environment. With Picasso, he visited Barcelona and then Madrid where, together, they visited The Prado Museum. In 1918, at the Casina Valadier on the Pincian Hill (Rome), he exhibits his Still Life with a Dish of Apples and Onions, which arouses perplexity in the Roman environment for his personal rare “neoclassicism” but at the same time, attentive to European situation in those years. After Portatrice di Frutta (Fruit Carrier) (1924), which is one of his masterpieces, he exhibits i Cacciatori (The Hunters), a very challenging painting, at the “Novecento Italiano...

Impressionist mid century view of Hammersmith Bridge over the Thames London
Located in Woodbury, CT
Pietro Sansalvadore was active during the early to middle of the 20th century. He painted in an Impressionist manner and on a small scale. Acquiring a late 19th-century Impressionist painting of Hammersmith Bridge by the Italian painter Pietro Sansalvadore is an opportunity to own a captivating piece of art that transcends both time and cultural boundaries. Sansalvadore's unique perspective, influenced by the Impressionist movement, infuses this painting with a luminous quality that captures the atmospheric essence of Hammersmith Bridge in a way that only a skilled artist with an international perspective could achieve. This masterpiece not only showcases the artist's mastery in capturing light and movement but also represents a harmonious fusion of Italian artistic sensibilities with the iconic English landmark. The play of colors and the subtle brushstrokes transport the viewer to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the allure and dynamism of that period. Owning this painting is not just acquiring a visual delight; it's investing in a historical and cultural artifact...
