Agostino Fossati Art
Italian, 1839-1904
Agostino Fossati was born in La Spezia in 1830, to Giuseppe Fossati and Clorinda Bettinotti. He was admitted to the Ornate School of La Spezia, on October 10, 1845, until he was called to teach in the same school at the end of his studies in 1853. In 1855, he was appointed professor of Geometry Linear, which he applied to his art. In 1860, he was commissioned by the City Council to paint the reading room of the Casino Civic. In 1869, he exhibited two paintings at the Promoter of Genoa and again, in 1871, three works. In 1878, at the Turin Promotrice, he exhibited the painting Along Sea (Marina). In 1880, the Promoters of Genoa and Turin exhibited his other paintings, including Shipyard Faggioni- Via San Bartolomeo in Spezia (Genoa) and Entry Team in the Gulf of Spezia after the great maneuvers. In 1882, he was appointed member of the supervisory board of the Museum of La Spezia and was also elected member of the Committee of Ornate. In 1887, he participated and was awarded a gold medal at the Penitentiary of La Spezia. In 1889, he again presented at the Promoter of Genoa and in 1890, at the Promoter of Turin. In 1892, he exhibited eight works at the Promoter of Genoa, during the Colombian festivities. In 1894, he was registered as a Professor of Ornamental design, at the Royal School of Arts and Crafts. In 1896, he presented four works at the Promoter of Genoa. He died on December 7, 1904, in his hometown.

ROBERT KENNETH WHITE – "SANCTUARY OF THE SEA"
⚜ Oil on canvas ⚜ Hand signed on verso ⚜ Frameless display
MYTHIC SEASCAPE WITH FANTASTICAL ARCHITECTURE
In Sanctuary of the Sea (2015), Robert Kenneth White presents a visionary coastal realm—part ancient city, part imagined utopia. Classical domes and soaring towers rise from lush hillsides and rugged cliffs, their golden light and crisp detailing reminiscent of both Mediterranean antiquity and high fantasy world-building. Rich sapphire waters lap against stone piers as a sailboat makes its way through the tranquil harbor, offering a sense of scale and serenity.
Executed in oil with White’s signature attention to atmospheric color and architectural clarity, this large-format landscape blends historical evocation with imaginative escape. The composition feels cinematic and immersive, balancing realism with reverie—inviting comparisons to romantic illustrators like Maxfield Parrish, the architectural surrealism of Simon Stålenhag, or the coastal visions of classical landscape painters.

Robert Kenneth White "Tranquility" 2021 Oil of Mediterranean Garden Scene
Located in Miami, FL
ROBERT KENNETH WHITE – "TRANQUILITY"
⚜ Oil on canvas ⚜ Hand signed lower left ⚜ Frameless display
ARCHITECTURAL GARDEN STUDY IN SUNLIT STILLNESS
In Tranquility, Robert Kenneth White captures a moment of quiet illumination in a Mediterranean-style garden. A classical terracotta urn rests amid wildflowers and trimmed hedges, framed by palm fronds, stucco walls, and pale blue shutters. The painting balances bright floral textures with deep shadow, inviting viewers into a peaceful courtyard retreat.
As the artist reflects, “This painting was inspired by the timeless beauty of southern France, and the wonderful homes that one finds there.” That inspiration shines through in both the subject and atmosphere—an evocation of warmth, elegance, and enduring charm.
Known for his mastery of architectural scenes and natural light, White renders this composition with both structural clarity and painterly softness. The glowing focal point and contrasting cool shade exemplify his skill at evoking calm and stillness through light and design.
