Horses Kano Tanshin Morimasa (1653-1718) Two-panel tea-ceremony Japanese screen or furosaki Ink on gold leaf, late 17th-early 18th century Measures: H 55 cm x W 182 cm The Kano school was closely aligned with the warrior class in Japan. The samurai, who lived in a closed and rigid hierarchical society established by the Shogunate, were drawn to the energy and freedom horses symbolize; Kano school artists commonly depicted the equine creatures as they are here, in unfettered and carefree family groups. China originally introduced horse paintings to Japan; the works typically focused on capturing the essence of horses in their various environments and often involved integrating human figures into the images. Kano Tanshin Morimasa (1653-1718) was the son of Kano Tanyu...

Guido Borgianni was born in New York on June 11, 1915, to Florentine Roberto Borgianni, a leather merchant, and Sara Herreshoff, who belonged to one of the wealthiest families in the United States and became a legend in the construction of the racing boats that also participated in and won the America's Cup. Guido was not even a year old when, once his parents' marriage had foundered, his father brought him back to Florence. Of Guido Borgianni's extraordinary gifts as a draftsman and painter, Galileo Chini, his neighbor, noticed, and he worked to see that talent refined. Thus Borgianni attended the Academy of Fine Arts under Felice Carena, a strict teacher but one who knew how to appreciate the qualities of his pupils. In the first part of his life he signed his works in black. Then, when he became a pointillist, he began to use red. Among his great admirers were Alessandro Parronchi and Oskar Kokoschka, who was captivated by Borgianni's paintings during his Florentine stay in 1949. Soffici, Saetti, Malaparte, Montale, Pratolini, and Cesare Zavattini, the screenwriter of Vittorio De Sica and Italian neorealism, all liked him very much, finding him "as beautiful as a Corot." In 1946 he exhibited at the Quadriennale in Rome. After his marriage to Simonetta Avila in 1954, his activities were enlivened by travel: in 1955 to Venice, in 1957 to Paris, from 1958 to 1962 around Italy, in 1964 to Spain, in 1971 to New York and Barbados Islands. In 1950 he was awarded a prize at the Mostra Nazionale del Fiorino in Florence, and in 1956 he was appointed Academician of the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno in Florence. In 1957 he was awarded First Prize at the Portrait Exhibition at Dante's House in Florence. Upon his death, deep condolences were expressed by the president of the Florence City...

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...
