Roberto Gherardi
Family by Roberto Gherardi - Oil on wood 36x50 cm

About the Item

Work on wood with frame. Total size with frame is 46x61x5 cm Roberto Gherardi is an Italian-Geneva painter born in 1933 in Ascensione in northern Italy, near Bergamo. The post-war period being harsh, poverty strikes his family and forces him to immigrate to Switzerland in Geneva where he will work as a mason. There he will meet his wife and start a family. In his life of hard work he finds a loophole in painting. He painted Geneva, Italian and other landscapes as well as characters with cold features that he would produce throughout his life. His style is rather realistic with games of misshapen proportions. He left a collection of 400 works, sold a few but never had the time or the means to devote himself fully to his passion because he had duties towards his family. He signs his works R. Gherardi. Here are the pieces of his collection released into the light after a hibernation of twenty years in a cellar out of sight. We are happy to be able to offer them a second life thanks to you.

    By Vittorio Reggianini
    Located in Missouri, MO
    Vittorio Reggianini (Italian, 1858-1938) Il Concerto di Pianoforte Signed Lower Right 28 x 39.5 inches 35 x 47 inches with frame Vittorio Reggianini specialized in genre subjects including elegant scenes of bourgeois life, figure compositions particularly women's heads and child studies as well as more humble interiors with peasants. Reggianini combined fantasy with reality, sensuality with sensibility and above all, like many of the Florentine historical genre painters furnished his costume pieces in luxury. Reggianini was born in Modena, north Italy, in 1853. He studied at the Modena Academy of Fine Arts where he later became a professor. Like many of his contemporaries, Reggianini migrated south, to Florence, where in 1900 he participated in the Alinari Corcorso with a painting entitled Tristis Matris Nati Presaga Finis. Reggianini also exhibited with the Florentine Art...
