19th Century Italian Signed and Located Painting

About the Item

19th Century Italian Signed and Located Painting Beautiful and rare oil on canvas painting by the great Lombard painter Eugenio Spreafico. It best represents the talent of this great artist in painting bucolic landscapes full of poetry and romantic atmosphere. In a country lane, a shepherdess is immersed in nature with her herds, her only company, with their little house in the background. With just a few strokes, Eugenio Spreafico manages to convey all the misery and nobility of country life. This evocative painting was probably painted in 1883, the year he exhibited in Rome, and presented a work entitled ‘In the park at Monza’. This artwork, never before on the market, comes from a private collection. Every item of our Gallery, upon request, is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by Sabrina Egidi official Expert in Italian furniture for the Chamber of Commerce of Rome and for the Rome Civil Courts. Eugenio Spreafico (April 2, 1856 in Monza – January 7, 1919 in Magreglio) was an Italian painter, mainly of landscapes and genre works. While he was born and resident in Monza, he trained at the Brera Academy in Milan, where he trained with Francesco Hayez and Giuseppe Bertini. He first exhibited at the Brera in 1880. His landscapes mainly depicted the Lombard countryside and the area around Magreglio in Lago di Como. Among his works, he exhibited in 1881 at Milan: April; Pioggia di foglie autunnali; I fiori del Sagrestano; Tramonto; Bosco; and a genre canvas titled In processione,. In the same city, in 1883, he displayed: Quanto sa di sale, lo pane altrui; Benedizione delle case; Love in the Studio. In 1883 at Roma: Return to Cascina and In a Park of Monza. At the 1884 Exhibition of Fine Arts at Turin: Nozze paesane; L'Ave Maria del mattino; Saturday. In 1886, at Milan: In Cascina; Puerpera; Idyl; and Dal mercato. In 1887 at Venice: Gioie; Dolori; andLavoro. The painting Mamme contadine coi bimbi in collo in giorno di festa was exhibited at the Fumagalli of Milan. At the 1988 Exposition of Fine Arts of Bologna, he had two paintings illustrating verses of Dante: A fulgore et a Tempestate and Libera Nos Domine, also exhibited at Milan. Angelo De Gubernatis was to say of him that: “His brush has an extraordinary sensibility of impressions, and responds, interprets with a surety of his guiding hand and mind: no uncertainty, no regrets, no fatigue ever reach: whether he wishes to render a feast of light, or allow penumbra to flood the landscape, Spreafico intends to make a canvas to express his feeling as felt, and the mark of the realism emerges always equally, always strong”. He also was known for his portraits. The Galleria d'Arte Moderna of Milan has nearly half a dozen of his works. The painter Leonardo Spreafico (born 1907) is a direct descendant and pupil of Eugenio.

19th Century Enrico Coleman Signed Painting
By Enrico Coleman
Located in Roma, IT
An important painting by one of the most representative Italian artists of the 19th century, Enrico Coleman. It depicts a village most probably from Lazio, perhaps a glimpse of Anticoli Corrado, the town famous for the attractiveness of its models, or rather Subiaco, his mother's birthplace. The atmosphere here is typical of the XXVs of the Roman Campagna of which Enrico Coleman was probably the most important exponent. The reason for this can also be seen in this small masterpiece that captures the washerwomen in their occupation immersed in a poetically bucolic atmosphere; a sky of unparalleled blue stands out in the background. Signed below on the right This painting, never before on the market, comes from an important Italian private collection and is beautified by an impressive antique frame in gilded wood, in almost perfect condition. Every item of our Gallery, upon request, is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by Sabrina Egidi official Expert in Italian furniture for the Chamber of Commerce of Rome and for the Rome Civil Courts. Oil painting on paper Enrico Coleman (21 or 25 June 1846 – 14 February 1911) was an Italian painter of British nationality. He was the son of the English painter Charles Coleman and brother of the less well-known Italian painter Francesco Coleman. He painted, in oils and in watercolours, the landscapes of the Campagna Romana and the Agro Pontino; he was a collector, grower and painter of orchids. Because of his supposedly Oriental air, he was known to his friends as "Il Birmano", the Burmese. Enrico Coleman was born in Rome in June 1846. He was the fourth child of the English painter Charles Coleman, who had come to Rome in 1831 and settled there permanently in 1835, and of a famous artist's model from Subiaco, Fortunata Segadori (or Segatori), whom he had married in 1836. Coleman was initially taught by his father, did study at the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. Following the mocking reception of Una mandria di bufali nelle paludi pontine, a naturalistic painting of a herd of buffaloes in the Pontine marshes, at the International Artist's Club in 1872,he reportedly began to paint genre subjects in the manner of the then-fashionable Mariano Fortuny, although no works showing the influence of the Spanish painter are known. At the instigation of Nino Costa, he soon returned to the depiction of the people, animals and landscapes of the Campagna Romana and the Agro Pontino. Coleman was lover of orchids, which he painted, collected and cultivated. An 1894 watercolour of orchids is in the Galleria Comunale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Rome. Coleman had a remarkable collection of indigenous orchids, which he cultivated himself in his house at 6 via Valenziana and the botanist Fabrizio Cortesi named the hybrid Orchis x colemanii Cortesi in his honour. In 1875, Coleman was among the founding members of the Società degli Acquarellisti, the Roman society of watercolourists; he participated in the society's first exhibition in 1876, and continued to exhibit with them until 1907. In 1878 he was elected an honorary member of the Société Royale Belge des Aquarellistes, the Belgian royal society of watercolourists, with which he participated in the Salon de Paris in 1879 and to the 4th Esposizione Nazionale di Belle Arti, or national fine art show, of Turin in 1880, and to that of Milan in the following year; he showed works in London in 1882 and in Rome in 1883. In 1885, Coleman was among the founding members of the group In Arte Libertas, of which Nino Costa was the leading force and the other founding members were Vincenzo Cabianca...
