"Cabin on Lake Michigan Shore" is an original oil painting on board by Francesco Spicuzza. The artist signed the piece in the lower left. It depicts a small cabin on the lakeshore surrounded by bright vegetation. 14" x 20" art 22 3/4" x 29" frame Francesco J. Spicuzza, born in Sicily on July 23, 1883, came to America at the age of 8.

There he learned to paint in the then-fashionable "Munich School" technique, with detailed realism in heavy browns and grayed-out hues.

It was during this time that Spicuzza changed his style of painting, developing an impressionistic use of color, form and atmospheric renditions.
