About Ottocento
With over 25 years experience in the fine art world Ottocento take pride in offering a range of paintings and prints that are both intriguing and decorative. We have collected pictures from all periods but each piece has to have its own identity. Every artwork tells a story from the subject of the composition to the artist’s own life. Many of the works are very important in art history as a whole. We are able to offer these treasures at highly competitive rates as we do not run the business from a gallery.
