About the Item

Jozefina Kirchner (1890–1931) "The Pincio Fountain in Rome" (1923)** This atmospheric oil painting on canvas by Jozefina Kirchner, completed in 1923, captures a captivating view of the Pincio Fountain in Rome, with the Eternal City's iconic domes and rooftops bathed in soft golden light. Executed in a painterly Impressionistic style, the composition showcases the silhouetted fountain in the foreground, its cascading water adding movement and depth to the scene. The rich texture and expressive brushwork give the piece an engaging vitality, reflecting the artist’s keen eye for light and atmosphere. Composition & Symbolism The Pincio Fountain, a historic feature of the Pincian Hill Gardens, serves as a focal point, its dark, elegant form contrasting with the luminous Roman skyline. The soft pastel hues of the cityscape, with distant domes and rooftops, evoke a sense of tranquility and nostalgia. The tree framing the right side introduces balance and depth, enhancing the harmonious interplay of light and shadow. The impressionistic brushstrokes capture the essence of Rome’s timeless beauty, a popular subject among artists drawn to the city's grandeur. Materials & Condition Medium: Oil on canvas Framed Dimensions: 29 x 40 cm Canvas Dimensions: 23 x 33 cm Signature: Lower left corner: "J. Kirchner 1923 Roma" Frame: Elegant giltwood frame, complementing the warm tones of the artwork Condition: Excellent for its age, with well-preserved colors and texture Historical Context & Artistic Style Jozefina Kirchner was a talented early 20th-century painter, known for capturing urban and natural landscapes with an impressionistic touch.
