About the Item

Attributed to Pietro Montanini (1626–1689, Perugia) "Landscape with the Baptism of Christ" Oil on canvas Framed: 86 x 44 cm Canvas: 48 x 33 cm No signatured This exquisite Baroque landscape, attributed to Pietro Montanini, masterfully combines religious narrative with a richly detailed natural setting. Montanini, a celebrated Italian landscape painter, was known for his lyrical depictions of biblical and historical scenes, often set against grand, atmospheric backdrops. The composition features Saint John the Baptist standing near the river, symbolizing the moment of Christ’s baptism, while a group of figures in the foreground adds to the dramatic storytelling. The lush, rolling landscape, with towering trees, rocky formations, and distant mountains, creates a profound sense of depth and divine serenity. The delicate play of light and shadow, combined with Montanini’s refined brushwork, enhances the spiritual and meditative quality of the piece. Executed in a soft yet vibrant palette, this work is a remarkable example of 17th-century Italian landscape painting, where the natural world and religious themes seamlessly intertwine. The gilded Baroque frame further elevates the elegance and historical significance of the painting, making it a valuable addition for collectors of Old Master paintings and religious art.

"Being There" Original Oil Painting by Robert White, Frameless Display
Located in Encino, CA
“Being There,” an original oil on canvas by Robert K. White, is a piece for the true collector. White’s careful attention to detail and vivid use of browns and reds project from the painting, immediately capturing the viewer's attention and highlighting the artist's keen ability to capture emotion and life - all in a brushstroke. White's talent for depicting light and shadow provides the foundation for him to deliver subjects and scenes to the viewer's eye. This masterful work would make a great addition to an art collection and enhance most any home, perfect for those who have an affinity for cityscapes, theater, and architecture. In the artist’s own words, “I don’t paint what is inside of me; I paint what I see outside of me. I’m an observer. If I see something and I feel an affinity for it, something just clicks in my head. I’ll make the decision right then and there to paint that particular subject during that particular moment. It’s a perfect moment. Once something has caught my eye and I’ve heard the “perfect” click, it’s like a photograph has been taken in my mind’s eye. I only have a few days of clarity with that image. I have to start the painting quickly or else it will be gone and I will lose that image forever.” Artist: ROBERT KENNETH WHITE...
