His architectural views of Venice and Rome as well as New York City are well known in particular graffiti scenes and urban architecture. In 1956 he participated in his first collective exhibition in Rome, where he exhibited figurative drawings. During the same year, he met Gastone Novelli and began to explore the field of informal art, an artistic journey that lasted five years. In 1958, he participated in a collective painting exhibition in Rome together with renowned artists such as Mimmo Rotella, Carla Accardi, Cy Twombly, Corrado Cagli, Giandomenico Gnoli and Gastone Novelli. From 1963-1965, he painted and studied in Paris, France and, in 1965, exhibited at Rome's IX Quadrennial. In 1966, Caputo started working as a set designer with the theater and cinema of the Italian director, Carmelo Bene, with whom he became close friends and collaborated with for many years. He designed the sets for Nostra Signora dei Turchi and Capricci and all the posters for Bene's theatrical shows of this period. In 1972, he participated in the Venice Biennale (Theatre section) with the sets for the drama "Ecloga" by Franco Cuomo and Marica Boggio. Between 1983 and 1984, he executed two altarpieces for the church of Quercia di Aulla (Massa-Carrara).

During the 1980s, he participated in several traveling graphics exhibitions organized by the Rome Art Quadrennial in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 1992, the English magazine "Art & Design" recognized Tonino Caputo as one of the 50 most important Italian artists of the second half of the twentieth century. Towards the end of the 1990s, he created two lithographs commissioned by the mayor of Helsingborg and a mosaic installed in Bracciano station.Caputo traveled widely including to Eastern Europe (1970-1973), Australia (1977-1979), Sweden (1983) and, from 1984, between New York and Rome.

The Great Synagogue of Rome (Italian: Tempio Maggiore di Roma) is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, that is located at Lungotevere de' Cenci, in Rome, in Lazio, Italy. Designed by Vincenzo Costa and Osvaldo Armanni in an eclectic mix of Historicism and Art Nouveau styles, the synagogue was completed in 1904. It is the largest synagogue in Rome. The present synagogue was constructed shortly after the unification of Italy in 1870, The Roman Ghetto was demolished and the Jews were granted citizenship. In addition to serving as a house of judaic worship, it is also serves a cultural and organizational centre for la Comunità Ebraica di Roma (the Hebrew community of Rome). It houses the offices of the Chief Rabbi of Rome, as well as the Jewish Museum of Rome. Designed by Vincenzo Costa and Osvaldo Armanni, the synagogue was built from 1901 to 1904 on the banks of the Tiber, overlooking the former ghetto. It contains elements of Assyrian-Babylonian, Egyptian and Greco-Roman architecture. The eclectic style of the building makes it stand out, even in a city known for notable buildings and structures. The aluminium dome is the only square dome in the city and makes the building easily identifiable, even from a distance. The interior of the synagogue is lavishly decorated in the Art Nouveau style.

Hildegarde Hamilton (Florida, Virginia 1898-1970)

Frame: 17.75" X 14.25"
Image: 12" X 8.5"
Hildegarde Hume Hamilton (1898 - 1970) was active/lived in Florida, Virginia. He is known for Impressionist buildings in landscape and coastal view painting, illustration.
Hildegard Hume Hamilton was born in Syracuse, New York, in 1898. After her education there, and brief training at the age of six in art schools in Venice, Italy, while on a European sojourn with her father, she studied fine art at the Académie Julian, the École des Beaux-Arts and the Académie Grande Chaumière in Paris, France, during the 1920s and 1930s.
Back in the United States, Hamilton studied for a short time at the Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis, the Cincinnati Art Academy and under the tutelage of the landscape and maritime painter Anthony Thieme (1888-1954) in Rockport, Massachusetts. The Ainslie Galleries on Fifth Avenue held an exhibit of Hamilton’s French Alpine Scenes to much acclaim. Hamilton exhibited in venues throughout the city and sold as many as 300 landscapes. In 1927, Vice President Charles Gates Dawes acquired one of Hamilton’s paintings following her one person exhibit at the Women’s National Party Headquarters in Washington D.C. In the autumn of 1928, an exhibition of her landscapes and cityscapes at the Galerie Bernheim Jeune in Paris was widely and positively reviewed. In 1929, she became the first American woman to exhibit at Philip Dillon’s club –
L’Artistique, in Provence. She also contributed to the Salon des Artistes Independants in Paris. In 1930, Hamilton exhibited at the Carlton Hotel in Washington D.C. and in New York at the Grand Central Palace, American Art Association-Anderson Galleries on 57th Street, and the Huntington Bay and Yacht Clubs. During this period, the artist resided at 9 Gramercy Park in New York City. The picturesque neighborhood inspired Hamilton’s painting entitled 4 Gramercy Park, Mayor Harper’s House, Manhattan. C. 1930. The oil painting captures the red brick façade and intricate cast iron embellishments of 4 Gramercy Park, the former home of publisher and New York City Mayor James Harper...
