About the Item

A large, Mid-Century view of rooftops by Italian artist Miro Romagna. Bring the La Dolce Vita home with you! Image size: 27" x38 1/2". Framed size: 30 3/4" x 42 1/2". Miro Romagna was born in Venice in 1927, he has been part of the Italian artistic environment since 1949, when he became part of the Bevilacqua La Masa work in Venice and participated in eleven editions of collective exhibitions, obtaining prizes, recommendations and official purchases. In 1956 he won the third Marzotto prize at the IV National Painting Exhibition - Valdagno. Thanks to his strong artistic personality and the quality of his works, he soon became one of the greatest Venetian painters, achieving numerous awards and recognitions in Italy and abroad during his artistic maturity. Furthermore, he held courses in drawing, watercolor and various painting techniques at the International Graphics Center in Venice. Miro Romagna is considered one of the most significant painters of the post-impressionist movement known as "Venetian Chiarism". He is perhaps the last great witness of an era and a school to which the Venetian-lagoon art of the first and part of the second twentieth century attests. In fact, he began to acquire artistic skills as a boy, observing important painters at the easel, including Filippo De Pisis, Marco Novati, Carlo Cherubini and Neno Mori, of whom he was a privileged student for some years. From all of them, Romagna assimilated an extraordinary property of expressive language and the importance of the chromatic-luministic problem, two aspects that constitute the essence of his painting, visible in the admirable Venetian views. Romagna began exhibiting at the age of 15, with a work in the 1942 collective exhibition, held in the Sala Napoleonica together with the major Venetian painters of the time, including Cadorin and Dalla Zorza. The main aspect of his painting is to capture the secret soul of Venice in the elusive brightness. This is the most evident aspect in his works of recent years, composed mainly of Venetian views substantiated in the expressive emotion of different movements ranging from the vibrant romantic atmosphere at the beginning to the tonal rarefaction of visions in which light and color interpenetrate subtly in the air of infinite reflections, to flow into the explosive lighting of pure colors.

A Serene, ca. 1940s, Western Landscape Painting with Horses by Francis Chapin
By Francis Chapin
Located in Chicago, IL
A serene, ca. 1940s, Western landscape painting with horses by artist Francis Chapin. In a brown, wooden frame. Image size: 22" x 28". Framed size: 25" x 31". Provenance: Estate of the artist. Francis Chapin, affectionately called the “Dean of Chicago Painters” by his colleagues, was one of the city’s most popular and celebrated painters in his day. Born at the dawn of the 20th Century in Bristolville, Ohio, Chapin graduated from Washington & Jefferson College near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before enrolling at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1922. He would set down deep roots at the Art Institute of Chicago, exhibiting there over 31 times between 1926 and 1951. In 1927 Chapin won the prestigious Bryan Lathrop Fellowship from the Art Institute – a prize that funded the artist’s yearlong study trip to Europe. Upon his return to the United States, Chapin decided to remain in Chicago, noting the freedom Chicago artists have in developing independently of the pressure to conform to pre-existing molds (as was experienced by artists in New York, for example). Chapin became a popular instructor at the Art Institute, teaching there from 1929 to 1947 and at the Art Institute’s summer art school in Saugatuck, Michigan (now called Oxbow) between 1934 – 1938 (he was the director of the school from 1941-1945). Chapin’s contemporaries among Chicago’s artists included such luminaries as Ivan Le Lorraine Albright...

A Pastoral California Landscape by Artist William Dorsey in a Hand-Carved Frame
Located in Chicago, IL
A 20th Century pastoral California coastal landscape by artist William Dorsey in a hand-carved Plein Air frame. Image size: 16" x 20". Framed size: 20 1/2" x 24 1/2". Biography from Askart: Primarily self-taught, William was best known as a California Landscape Painter. His paintings were reminiscent of the California Impressionists with rich atmospheric perspective and depth. It is important to note that William had difficulty seeing distance due to an eye condition. He would create the illusion of depth with skillful painting techniques and his sophisticated use of color. William’s paintings were frequently available on the secondary market, in antique stores and auction houses, where they were often paired with early California painters such as Edgar Payne, William Wendt and Ray...
