Oil on Canvas Italian Street Market Scene by Giuseppe Pitto
About the Item
Giuseppe Pitto (Italian 1857 - 1928) is often known for his paintings depicting pretty women in Italian street markets. This exuberantly painted scene is done in the realist style. Realism emerged as a major art movement from 1840 to 1900. It was a rejection of romanticism and aimed at depicting the world as it truly exists without the influences of imagination, idealism, emotion, or style. The painting features a young woman in a bustling street market. There is a juxtaposition between her robust pale form in comparison to the workers and villagers behind her. The shadows on the right, create an illusion of depth and space, clearly highlighting her as the focus. To the left of her is a void space that creates the illusion of where the artist would have been. Pitto’s use of a warm color palette produces a sense of excitement as well as mimicking sunbeams. In the background, the buildings, villagers, and stands have all been painted with small brushstrokes, unblended color, and the impression of form, generating a sense of movement. Pitto's signature is on the bottom left. Overall, this painting embodies the realist style and liveliness of shopping in an Italian market. Create a different look with a modern frame or use the original fame it comes with.

- Vintage Murano Bullicante & Gold Aventurine Wall Sconce by Barovier & TosoBy Barovier&TosoLocated in Chicago, ILThis exquisite sconce is crafted by the legendary Murano glass studio, Barovier and Toso. The clear shade is decorated with "Bullicante", which in Italian literally means "full of bubbles". To get the controlled bubble effect, a metallic mold with spikes comes in contact with molten glass. The spikes create small holes on the surface of the glass, creating a pattern. After it’s been left to cool down for a few moments, the whole piece is submerged in molten glass again. This second layer completely covers the first one. The layering process is repeated several times. The holes previously impressed on the first layer are not covered, thus causing air to be trapped between the layers of glass in the desired pattern. It is finished off with a finial of gold aventurine, whereby the glass has gold inclusions. Aventurine, as its name suggests, is a decoration made by "aventitius" surface effects with flecks of gold, a 15th century technique. The result is this magnificent, exquisitely crafted, wall light, full of subtle texture and dynamism. Has been rewired to meet US electrical standards and uses one base light bulb with a maximum of sixty watts. We recommend using LED lights because they help preserve the antique fixture...Category
