Mid-Century Oil Painting of Sailboats on the Capri Coast by Giuseppe Cavalleri – Impressionist Marine Art on Board Discover a breathtaking mid-century sailboat painting by renowned Italian artist Giuseppe Cavalleri. This original oil on board painting beautifully captures the tranquil waters of the Capri coast in Italy, portraying a serene Mediterranean seascape filled with graceful sailing boats and sunlit reflections. A masterwork of Impressionist maritime art, this piece transports viewers to the calm, sun-drenched shores of southern Italy during the 20th century. Ideal for collectors of vintage Italian seascape paintings, enthusiasts of Impressionist coastal art, or those seeking an authentic marine painting that radiates peace and atmosphere. Artistic Highlights: Style, Technique & Composition 1. Impressionist Style and Technique This vintage marine painting by Giuseppe Cavalleri exhibits hallmarks of the Impressionist style, focusing on capturing natural light, mood, and momentary impressions over fine detail. The brushwork is fluid yet deliberate, allowing viewers to feel the gentle motion of the sea and the softness of the cloud-strewn sky. The artist skillfully uses short, broken brushstrokes to render the rippling water and textured sky, a signature of mid-century Impressionist techniques. The composition prioritises atmosphere and sensory experience, inviting a sense of immersion into the coastal environment. 2. Balanced Composition with Depth Cavalleri creates a strong sense of depth, using atmospheric perspective and clever placement of the boats. The largest sailboat is positioned off-centre to the right, drawing the eye with its elegant white and tan sails—an excellent use of asymmetrical balance. The horizon line sits just above the center of the painting, expanding the sense of openness and space. 3. Evocative Color Palette A soft, tonal blend of sky blues, aqua, and whites dominates the painting, giving it a serene, almost dreamlike feel. Subtle warm beige and peach tones in the sails contrast against the cool blues of the sea, adding both visual interest and harmony. Cavalleri masterfully blends hues to depict light reflections on water, making this an exceptional example of Italian tonalist marine painting. 4. Tranquil Atmosphere & Emotional Appeal This painting evokes a timeless sense of tranquility, reflecting the leisurely pace of coastal life in mid-20th-century Italy. The distant boats, hazy clouds, and calm water contribute to a peaceful, reflective mood. Whether viewed from a distance or up close, the scene resonates with themes of freedom, simplicity, and quiet beauty, making it a perfect centrepiece for any interior that values art with emotion and soul. Artist Biography: Giuseppe Cavalleri (1893–1951) Giuseppe Cavalleri was a gifted Italian painter born in Milan, Italy, on November 24, 1893. He studied under Ricardo Pellegrini at the esteemed Brera Academy, one of Italy’s most prestigious art institutions. Furthering his artistic development, he later trained in Barcelona, exposing him to a diverse range of European art influences. Cavalleri’s life was marked by resilience. After serving in World War I from 1915 to 1918, he sustained a permanent injury to his dominant right arm. Refusing to let this end his artistic journey, he taught himself to paint with his left hand, showcasing a rare determination and passion for art. Over his career, Cavalleri travelled extensively, capturing a wide array of Mediterranean landscapes, seascapes, and coastal scenes. His works reflect a deep connection to nature, light, and maritime life. He is best known for his tonalist landscape and marine oil paintings, which have become highly collectable. One of his celebrated pieces, Tramonto di Marina, features two anchored boats at sunset beside a distant channel marker—exemplifying his ability to infuse mood and narrative into seascapes. Giuseppe Cavalleri passed away in 1951, leaving behind a legacy of evocative, impressionistic art that continues to captivate viewers and collectors worldwide. Why This Painting is Perfect for Collectors & Enthusiasts Whether you’re an art investor, an interior designer sourcing coastal artwork, or a private collector of mid-century Italian paintings, this piece offers exceptional value and beauty. Ideal For: Collectors of original Italian seascape oil paintings Admirers of Impressionist marine art Enthusiasts of Capri and Amalfi Coast paintings...

This has to be one of the most beautiful sofas our gallery has ever had. This piece is early Italian1950's. Similar to pieces by Gio Ponti, Ico Parisi and Vladimir Kagan this large curved sofa features walnut legs and has been reupholstered in a fine, white, Belgian boucle. The boomerang-shaped sofa is a true masterpiece that embodies the essence of Italian design. Italian modern design is known for its clean lines, bold shapes, and exquisite attention to detail, making them timeless pieces of art that have stood the test of time. This particular sofa, is a stunning piece that exudes elegance and sophistication. The unique boomerang shape of the sofa is both stylish and practical, as it offers a comfortable seating experience while also being a visually striking addition to any room. The sofa is upholstered in a white Belgian boucle fabric, which adds to its luxurious appeal and complements its sleek design. This boomerang shaped sofa measures 90" long on the longer side, and 75" long on the shorter side. This gorgeous sofa could fit into a corner, but hiding those 9 splayed cone legs, and curved back lines wouldn't quite do this sofa justice. This vintage Italian piece is constructed with the highest level of quality. This sofa in particular has 8 way hand tied springs, the seating cushion has springs, the stuffing all horsehair and the upholstery was a worn mohair. We have remarkable photos documenting sofa before and during restoration. While Gio Ponti is regarded as one of the most significant Italian designers; his contemporaries, such as Achille Castiglioni, Vico Magistretti, and Ettore Sottsass, also contributed to the world of Italian design. Castiglioni, for instance, was known for his playful and functional designs, while Magistretti was renowned for his minimalist aesthetic. Sottsass, on the other hand, was a pioneer of the Memphis Group, which was known for its bold and colorful designs. We currently have this sofa in the gallery alongside a pair of Jean Royere chairs...
