Young girl Redhead Holding her father's hand
By Robert Riggs
Located in Miami, FL
There is a reason why there are few contemporary painters who can paint a portrait this good. It's hard to do. It's easy to throw some paint or spray a mess of graffiti on canvas. That's easy art. Executing a portrait with a great depth of anatomy and structure takes years of academic training. In Riggs's time, there were teachers who knew how to pass on this knowledge. He studied at the Art Students League and the Académie Julian . Today, they are very few and far between. Tempera mixed with gum arabic and alcohol on Renaissance Panel - Robert Riggs was a Gay Artist...

Located in London, GB
Oil on panel, inscribed and dated '1946' bottom right
Image size: 19 1/2 x 15 1/2 inches (49.5 x 39.5 cm)
Period frame
This painting stands out for its use of full-bodied brushstrokes and thick impasto application of paint. It depicts an Italian harbour in the 1940s, probably on one of the islands in the bay of Naples, such as Procida.
The Artist
Ezelino Briante was born and trained in Naples and he traveled around Italy and abroad (France, Switzerland, Sweden, Brazil, United States of America) looking for naturalistic subjects that he preferred. This celebrated painter studied at the Accademia di Bella Arti di Napoli and his scenes of Italy won him great support and fame in Italy and internationally.
His paintings of Italian piers, in particular those of Campania; well known are also his marine landscapes of Sorrento, Capri, Maiori, Amalfi Coast and Sorrento Coast...
