Italian Dolomites Oil on Canvas
Located in Vo', Veneto
The Vajolet Towers - Italy Artist: A. Thöny Period: Early 1900s Origin: Italy Technique and support: Oil on canvas mounted on cardboard Dimensions: Height – 33 cm Width – 27 cm Description: The artwork depicts a landscape view of the Vajolet Towers, a prominent rock formation in the Catinaccio Dolomite massif. The artist employs a vertical composition, ideal for emphasizing the upward thrust of the towers, which rise monumentally against the sky. Thöny’s pictorial language is marked by a dense and vigorous brushstroke, particularly evident in the rocky details, where the use of oil paint enhances the typical limestone hues of the Dolomite rock. Dominant tones include ochre, warm greys, and earthy greens, with accents of white and light blue suggesting reflected light or lingering snow. The atmosphere is conveyed through a balanced interplay of solid and airy elements: the towers emerge from low-lying clouds, creating a contrast between the mountain’s solidity and the sky’s dynamic quality. The latter is rendered in cool tones—shades of blue and light grey—achieved through light glazing, contrasting with the more textured and impasto treatment of the rock. The vantage point is elevated yet slightly off-center, offering a framing that enhances the landscape’s perspective and depth, with hints of blurred mountain ridges on the horizon, painted in cobalt blue and greys to evoke a sense of atmospheric distance. Signed lower right, “A. Thöny”. A. Thöny was active in Merano, in the alpine region of South Tyrol, and belonged to the romantic-naturalist school of the late 19th century, connected to the Central European tradition of alpine landscape painting...

Arno River in springtime by Guido Borgianni Italy. 1950
Located in Budapest, HU
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...
