Located in New York, NY
A whimsical oil painting depicting an interior of a grand room Scene in Paris. Figures are situated through out, as we can feel the energy and excitement of the night. A truly intimate scene with candelabras, large paintings displayed on the walls and ornate settings throughout. As an Italian Impressionist artist, most of Cagliani's works were produced in the first half of the 20th Century. He was known for his charming compositions and settled in Lombardy, which helps explain his passion for intimate Parisian style paintings. He also favored painting scenes set of Venice. This piece is a wonderful display of figures going about their day in with buildings depicted on each side, and a horse and carriage in the distance. The colors and lighting of this piece is truly a joy to discover, as we can feel the moment in time set beautifully. The details are soft and elegant as the shadows pick up specks of light throughout the scene. This painting comes displayed in a carved wood frame with hanging wire on verso and is signed lower right.
