Dimensions with frame: 28,3 x 37 x 4 cm Signed and titled "C. Carelli Napoli" in the lower right corner. A closely related companion painting by the same artist—depicting a similar view of the Bay of Naples under different atmospheric conditions and of identical dimensions—is also currently available, offering the opportunity to acquire a rare and decorative pair. This charming and atmospheric landscape depicts a lively scene along the Bay of Naples with the majestic Mount Vesuvius rising in the background. The composition captures the vibrant character of southern Italy, where daily life unfolds along the waterfront beneath the iconic volcano. In the foreground, a bustling open-air market is sheltered beneath large canvas awnings supported by wooden poles. Groups of figures gather around tables, creating a sense of activity and local color. Their lively gestures and varied attire animate the scene, suggesting a moment of social exchange and commerce. Beyond the market, the calm waters of the bay reflect the warm tones of the sky. Small fishing boats and rowboats glide across the harbor, guiding the eye toward the distant shoreline where the city of Naples stretches along the coast. Dominating the horizon, Mount Vesuvius releases a delicate plume of smoke, adding both drama and authenticity to this classic Neapolitan view. The artist skillfully balances narrative detail with atmospheric landscape painting. Warm sunlight illuminates the architecture and shoreline, while soft clouds diffuse the sky, enhancing the depth and tranquility of the scene. The painting reflects the tradition of 19th- and early 20th-century Italian veduta and tourist paintings, highly sought after for their romantic depictions of historic Italian landscapes. This evocative work would make a wonderful addition to collections of Italian landscape painting, Grand Tour subjects, or historic views of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.

Dimensions with frame: 28,3 x 37 x 4 cm Signed and titled "C. Carelli Napoli" in the lower left corner. A closely related companion painting by the same artist, depicting a similar view of the Bay of Naples under different atmospheric conditions and of identical dimensions, is also currently available, offering the opportunity to acquire a rare and decorative pair. This lively maritime scene depicts traditional fishing boats resting on the calm waters of the Bay of Naples, with the unmistakable silhouette of Mount Vesuvius rising in the distance. Executed with vibrant brushwork and a refined sense of atmosphere, the composition beautifully captures the daily life and maritime character of southern Italy. Overhead, a dramatic, cloud-laden sky gathers above the bay, its heavy formations creating a slightly ominous mood that contrasts with the stillness of the water and adds a striking sense of tension and atmosphere to the scene. In the foreground, several fishermen gather aboard wooden boats loaded with fishing nets and equipment. Their colorful garments add touches of red, green, and ochre that animate the composition, while the large sail of the central vessel creates a striking visual anchor. The quiet water reflects both the boats and the warm light of the sky, enhancing the painting’s sense of serenity. Beyond the fishing activity, Mount Vesuvius dominates the horizon, releasing a faint plume of smoke that adds drama and authenticity to this classic Neapolitan view. The contrast between the dark volcanic slopes and the luminous sea creates depth and visual balance throughout the scene. The painting reflects the rich tradition of 19th- and early 20th-century Neapolitan marine painting, celebrated for its picturesque depictions of coastal life and iconic views of the Bay of Naples. This atmospheric work would make an excellent addition to collections of Italian marine painting, Grand Tour subjects, or historic views of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.

"Pair Recumbent Stone Lions" after Antonio Canova (1757-1822) Italian (possibly Florence) Mid 19th Century Alabaster, marble 6 x 9 x 4 inches This is an exquisite pair of Italian alabaster lions on marble bases based on the monumental lions carved by Antonio Canova (1757-1822), the greatest Italian neoclassical sculptor. Canova sculpted the marble lions for the monumental tomb of Pope Clement XIII in St. Peter’s, Rome in 1792 Canova Lions refers to the pair of copies of lion sculptures by Antonio Canova. When Canova created the sculptures in 1792, he installed them on the tomb of Pope Clement XIII. The marble sculptures are some of the most prominent features in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

Rome - Ettore Ferrante Italia 2002 - Oil on canvas cm. 45x95 In this precious oil painting Ettore Ferrante is inspired by the views of the Dutch neutralized Italian painter Gaspar Adriaensz van Wittel, known as Casper, and known in Italy as Gaspare Vanvitelli. In particular this is a reinterpretation of the painting "View of the Tiber with Castel Sant'Angelo and San Pietro in the background" by Vanvitelli. Taken from the left bank of the river, the view has its focal point in the circular mass of Castel Sant’Angelo, the pontifical fortress built on the central core of Hadrian's mausoleum and enriched with ramparts and patrol paths overlooking the water. In the background of the view, the Vatican basilica with the papal palaces responds to the vestiges of imperial power, while in the center the Sant'Angelo bridge, adorned with statues painted between 1669 and 1671 by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and his pupils, connects the two banks replacing the ancient Aelius bridge built by Hadrian. No less interesting is the minor urban fabric...

Dimensions with frame: 34,5 x 46,5 x 5,5 cm Signed "O. Ricciardi" in the lower right corner. This luminous coastal painting presents a tranquil view of Sorrento, depicting a solitary fisherman working from a small wooden boat in calm waters beneath the region’s characteristic sunlit cliffs. The composition captures the serene beauty of the Bay of Naples, where rugged limestone shores meet a glassy sea under a clear Mediterranean sky. Rendered in oil with refined, impressionistic brushwork, the artist conveys both atmosphere and light with remarkable sensitivity. Soft turquoise and sandy tones shimmer across the water’s surface, while delicate reflections enhance the sense of stillness. A distant sailboat glides across the horizon, adding depth and narrative balance to the scene. The sweeping coastline, dotted with vegetation and pale architectural forms, evokes the historic settlements perched along the cliffs of Sorrento. In the foreground, the fisherman provides a human focal point, emphasizing the timeless maritime life of the region. The painting reflects the long tradition of Italian coastal landscape painting, prized for its decorative elegance and tranquil mood.

The artist’s confident yet sensitive brushwork allows light and reflection to animate the surface of the water, creating a harmonious dialogue between architecture, figures, and sea. The palette of soft blues, earthy reds, and sunlit ochres evokes the Mediterranean climate and character of Naples, conveying both warmth and tranquility.

Dimensions with frame: 40 x 46 x 6 cm Signed "Bisi" in the lower left corner. This exceptional 19th century European landscape painting depicts a dramatic mountainous panorama animated by an elegant traveling party resting along a wooded riverbank. Executed in the Romantic tradition, the composition masterfully balances sweeping alpine peaks, atmospheric sky, and finely detailed foreground figures. In the distance, rugged mountains rise beneath a luminous sky filled with soft clouds, while warm autumnal tones enrich the rolling hills. The foreground reveals a noble entourage—figures on horseback, attendants, and travelers—gathered along a tranquil river. Their period attire and banners suggest a historical or courtly narrative, adding refinement and storytelling to the natural grandeur of the setting. The artist demonstrates remarkable skill in perspective and light, creating depth through layered mountains and delicate atmospheric effects. The foliage is rendered with meticulous detail, and the interplay of shadow and sunlight enhances the romantic mood of the scene. Likely Continental European, this work embodies the ideals of 19th century Romantic landscape painting, where nature’s sublimity meets human presence. The piece would make a distinguished addition to a traditional, classical, or Grand Tour–inspired interior. A refined and decorative work of strong visual impact, combining historical charm, painterly finesse, and timeless appeal. 19th century landscape painting, antique European landscape, Romantic mountain painting, alpine landscape art, Grand Tour painting, historical scene painting, equestrian figures painting, classical European art, antique oil painting, 1800s landscape artwork, Continental school painting...
