About the Item
This delightful turn of the century (early 20th century) oil on canvas painting represents an Italian landscape with one of the most famous squares in the world: Piazza San Marco in Venice.

Behind them, the magnificent view of the city, with the column with the lion symbol of Venice and further down the monuments and historic buildings of the city.
The scene is full of character and architectural elements and captures the magic light of Venice, the color palette is amazing, the soft pastel shades used are delicate and relaxing.
This oil on canvas painting depicts a late 19th century everyday life’s scene in the most poetic way possible and the atmosphere you can breathe admiring the painting is incredibly romantic.

- Antique Oil on Canvas Painting "Dancing Nymphs" Mythological Landscape SceneLocated in Firenze, ITA luxuriant forest is the romantic and lyrical landscape where the dance of the nude nymphs takes place in this joyful 19th Century antique oil on canvas painting featuring a mythological scene. Dance of the Nymphs and Naiads is a myth inspired by the tales of ancient Greece and ancient Rome, a subject already much loved in the Renaissance period as an allegory of rebirth - as in one of the most famous paintings in the world the Spring by Sandro Botticelli- then reproduced throughout the neoclassicism by academic painters -due to the renewed interest in classical artworks following the discovery of archaeological sites- and taken up later, with ecological purposes and meanings, also by the Barbizon school and Impressionist artists. The present artwork – signed Vagner low left and datable to the second half of the 19th century - is closely inspired by an important work by the great Camille Corot, which is now housed at the Musée d'Orsay (Paris). This historical oil on canvas painting, featuring a joyful scene with the three graces and other dancing nymphs...Category

- Oil on Canvas Painting Portrait of the Italian Noble Family of Zanardi CountBy Lucia Casalini TorelliLocated in Firenze, ITThis museum quality old master oil on canvas formal portrait painting depicting the family of the Count Zanardi is signed by the artist- the female painter Lucia Casalini Torelli- and published in a book dedicated to Casalini Torelli’s workshop and academy. This palatial masterpiece artwork comes directly from the ancient Villa Maraini Guerrieri - Palidano di Gonzaga (Mantua), an historic Italian heritage building owned by the descendants of the family portrayed for more than two centuries, until 1998. The big scale of this oil on canvas masterpiece painting states the relevance of Lucia Casalini Torelli as a painter. The present artwork is a formal family portrait painting that aim to introduce the characters depicted according to their social role in the society. The noble family is all gathered under a loggia overlooking a park, the landscape in the background is partially covered by a beautiful red cloth on the right side. The father stands up and holds the hand of his eldest son, proudly introducing his future heir. The son wears a light-blue dress and red boots, he is depicted in a serious pose holding a black tricorn hat under his arm and a rapier sword on his belt. The mother wears an elegant gold and dark green brocade dress, she is sitting with her youngest daughter on her knees while her second son is by her side. The little daughter wears a lovely long red and dress with white lace and holds an apple on her hand. The son stands next to his mother and is dressed in a brown priestly clothes. This palatial old masters piece was probably painted in 1740 due to the similarities with Cardinal Doria’ s portrait, now on display at the Doria Palace Museum, the official residence of the Prince of Genoa. The painting features original canvas (“prima tela”) and antique original patina, it is in excellent overall condition considering the age, use and its large scale. A formal detailed condition report and the results of the inspection with the UV lamp accompanied by photos is available on request. As well as for its exceptional quality and quite perfect state of conservation, this painting is particularly important and even more valuable both for the artist who painted it and for its absolutely exclusive provenance. Lucia painted the most prominent and powerful noble families of her time, the location of these paintings is unknown to the art market as it is extremely likely that the portraits are still kept in private collections. Furthermore, Lucia was one of the most appreciated artists of her time, so important that she was admitted as a member of the academy at a time when women were forbidden to attend these studies. In 1706, Felice Torelli...Category

- Italian Realist Style Oil on Wood Panel Painting Landscape View of FlorenceLocated in Firenze, ITThis antique (probably turn of the century late 19th-early 20th) oil on wooden panel painting captures one of the most evocative views of Florence, Italy. From a belvedere square in Boboli Gardens the gaze opens on the monuments landmarks in Florence: Palazzo Vecchio (the old palace) the Medici home during renaissance and the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore built in the 14th century. Better known as the Duomo or Brunelleschi's Dome it remains a miracle of design and engineering. Even today, 600 years later it remains the tallest building in Florence. But also the Baptistery and many other historical buildings. Looking further down, the gaze is lost among the countless houses with typical red roofs made of terracotta. The painting takes up one of the most admired landscapes in the world but without losing the typically Italian realistic spirit, in fact the city is lived, it is not portrayed as a museal space, but a real and alive place where a peasant woman climbs the stairs and two nuns chat on the square, all surrounded by cypresses, the typical Tuscan trees praised by great poets and sweet Tuscan hills. This rectangular oil on board painting photographs one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world that has remained unchanged for centuries. Views of Italian monuments...Category

- 19th century German romantic landscape painting - Temple Valley Sicily ItalyBy Andreas AchenbachLocated in Antwerp, BEHuge 19th century romantic painting depicting a sunset over the Temple Valley in Agrigento, Italy This magnificent painting depicts the famous Temple Valley in Sicily. We have visited the site to find out from which viewpoint the painter painted this beautiful work. Fortunately, the site remains largely unchanged from how it was in 1856 and we found out that the painter depicted the temples of Hera (on the left) and Concordia (in the distance). He (or she) likely sat on top of the hill next to the temple of Hera while he sketched the magnificent scenery of the sun setting in the sea behind the temple of Concordia. The present painting is topologically correct, however the artist might have taken some artistic liberty in rearranging the remains of the columns of the Hera temple to create a better perspective and direct the gaze of the viewer to the focal point of the composition; the temple of Concordia. Although the painting was long believed to have been created by an American painter, as the dramatic light and magnificent landscape are quite reminiscent of Hudson River School paintings, it is more likely that the painting has been created by a German romantic...Category

- Artist Horemans Paint Oil on canvas Old master 18th Century Flemish Painter ArtBy Jan Josef Horemans the Elder (Antwerp 1682-1752)Located in Riva del Garda, ITJan Josef Horemans the Elder (Antwerp 1682-1752) circle of In the artist's atelier Oil painting on canvas - 48 x 45 cm, framed 61 x 56 cm. The pleasant painting illustrates one of the favorite themes of Flemish art collectors between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and precisely opens the doors of an art workshop / laboratory, illustrating the working environment of a group of troublemakers sculptors. What makes the composition fascinating is the real atmosphere, not artificial and also messy, such as to identify us in the context of the artists of the time. We see a couple of young clients, easily identifiable as two travelers on the Grand Tour (the globe on the right could allude to their journey), who have come to the atelier to see the bust that the gentleman is getting molded, as a perfect 'souvenir' from return home once the trip is over. And still other artists, perhaps apprentices, are practicing drawing, busy with bringing the details of a sculpture on their albums. Finally, a last character while viewing a large wall painting...Category
