About the Item
This is an amazing group of 19th century Italian gouaches. The quality of the painting is exceptional.
These paintings would have been painted for wealthy travelers traveling through the famous parts of southern Italy circa 1850.
I am sure they'll all painted by the same artist, those some almost detailed than others.
I particularly like the view of the Blue Grotto, Capri, and the street scene of Naples Harbor.
One can only imagine my life of the person the bought these in the mid-19th century having traveled from far afield to visit the famous ruins of Pompeii, Naples, the Blue Grotto, Capri.
The view of the Volcano Vesuvius erupting was a very popular scene and was painted in both daylight and evening many times.
These are an outstanding group of paintings. They are currently attached to a mount to keep safe but would benefit from being framing either separately or as a group.
One of the paintings has a small dent in it, other than that they are all in exceptional condition.
This size and composition would work in many different rooms in a home, such as a dining area, bedroom, entrance hallway, or study
This type and quality of painting would have been painted for the wealthy British patrons for either their country houses or their grand townhouses in areas in London like Mayfair, Belgravia and Chelsea, and Kensington

- Gouache Watercolor Painting, Nantucket Harbor Boats American Deaf Modernist ArtBy Robert FreimanLocated in Surfside, FLAbstract harbor scene with boats, in bold, vivid colors on heavy mould made paper. Hand signed and dated, 1980 22 X 30 not frame Robert Freiman, deaf from birth, was born in March 1917 in New York City. He attended an oral program near his home and later transferred to the Lexington School for the Deaf when he was six. Early in his childhood, his love for drawing, painting and studying became apparent, and as an adult, he continued his studies in New York at the National Academy of Design, Pratt Institute, the Art Students League and the Parsons School of Design. In Paris, France he studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. Bob Freiman was especially focused on painting portraits and figures in motion in various mediums, especially the mixed-media combination of watercolor, acrylic and pen. Among his subjects were acrobats, ballet dancers, cyclists and other athletes. He as well focused on abstracts for a time, discovering new media in his works with quick brushwork and expressive movements. In the latter part of his career, his style became abstract and surreal with images of metaphysical landscapes with architectural elements such as arches, towers, pyramids and castles floating in the air. The famed art critic Pierre Rouve wrote: “It is therefore refreshing to see them revitalized by the colourist wealth and virile handwriting of Robert Freiman, probably the best American water-colorist since John Marin. He worked in Provincetown and Nantucket and regularly exhibited there. He showed at Doll & Richards gallery of Boston alongside John Chetcuti, Lloyd Goodrich, Tod Lindenmuth, William Meyerowitz, Dwight Shepler, Elizabeth O'Neill Verner, Stanley Woodward, Andrew Wyeth, and others. His work bears the influence of the mid century school of Paris in particular Jean Carzou. He was a regular exhibitor at the Sidewalk Art...Category
