About the Item
Painted in Italy circa 1870, this captivating oil on board captures the timeless grandeur of Piazza San Marco in Venice. The artist renders the iconic domes and arches of Basilica di San Marco with a delicate, impressionistic touch, using soft brushstrokes and a muted palette to evoke the haze and movement of a bustling Venetian day. Tall flags sway gently at the cathedral’s entrance, while small, gestural figures animate the sunlit square below, lending a lyrical rhythm to the composition.
Housed in its original, ornately carved giltwood frame with floral sprays, scrolling acanthus, and shell motifs, the painting retains its historic elegance and decorative presence. A signature appears in red at the lower left corner, though it remains illegible.
Dimensions: 23″ W x 19″ H
Excellent condition commensurate with age and use. Minor surface wear and patina enhance the antique character of the piece. A refined and atmospheric 19th-century Italian cityscape, ideal for collectors of Grand Tour–era works, Venetian views, or Continental Impressionism.

19th Century French Parisian Scene Painting in Gilt Frame Signed E. Thioulouze
By Édouard Leon Cortès
Located in Dallas, TX
Decorate a wall with this beautiful and colorful painting. Painted on canvas in Paris circa 1890 and set in a thick carved and gilt frame, the artwork beautifully captures the vibrant atmosphere of La Madeleine in Paris, a neoclassical church known for its imposing columns. The scene is set in front of the church, where bustling market stalls display a colorful array of flowers, and elegantly dressed Parisians walk by. The artist skillfully contrasts the grand architecture with the lively street life, highlighting the charm of daily activities in the heart of Paris. The use of rich colors and detailed brushwork conveys a sense of warmth and vibrancy, encapsulating a timeless Parisian moment. The artwork is signed in the lower left corner by French artist, E. Thioulouze, a follower of Edouard Leon Cortes. The painting is in excellent condition with vibrant colors and dressed in a beautiful and elegant gilt frame.
The Church of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine, or less formally, La Madeleine, is a Catholic parish church on Place de la Madeleine in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. It was planned by Louis XV as the focal point of the new Rue Royal, leading to the new Place Louis XV, the present Place de la Concorde. It was dedicated in 1764 by Louis XV, but work halted due to the French Revolution. Napoleon Bonaparte had it redesigned in the Neoclassical style to become a monument to the glory of his armies. After his downfall in 1814 construction as a church resumed, but it was not completed until 1842. The building is surrounded on all four sides by Corinthian columns. The interior is noted for its frescoes on the domed ceiling, and monumental sculptures by François Rude, Carlo Marochetti and other prominent 19th-century French artists.
Edouard Léon Cortès (1882-1969) was a French painter of French and Spanish ancestry. He is known as "Le Poète Parisien de la Peinture" or "the Parisian Poet of Painting...
