SECOND HALF OF THE 18th CENTURY PAINTING WITH ARCHITECTURAL CAPRICE

About the Item

Beautiful oil painting on canvas depicting a classic architectural caprice, in a fascinating play of architecture and shadows populated by small characters. In an imaginary background landscape, imposing classical-style buildings stand, masterfully created in the use of perspective and shadows. Among these architectures, figures of different sizes can be seen, intent on walking or stopping, dressed in oriental clothes and turbans. The frame, also of considerable value, is contemporary and characterized by carved wood with geometric decorations, embellished with pure gold leaf gilding. This painting, of extraordinary workmanship and production, is able to enrich any environment with elegance and class. It is attributed to a Venetian painter of the school of Giuseppe Zais, around the second half of the 18th century. Measurements: H x W x D overall 117 x 138 x 8cm, H x W work only 87 x 109cm

SECOND HALF OF THE 19th CENTURY DANTE AND BEATRICE PAINTING BY RAFFAELE SORBI
Located in Firenze, FI
Beautiful oil painting on canvas, framed in an elegant carved and gilded wooden frame, complete with mirror. This work, belonging to the famous Florentine painter Raffaello Sorbi, bears the artist's signature at the bottom right and is dated 1863, placing it in his early youthful production. Sorbi's stylistic characteristics are clearly visible, in which the warm Macchiaioli tones blend with neo-Gothic and romantic subjects, taken from the Renaissance and the Middle Ages. In this case the painting portrays the meeting between Dante and Beatrice, set in Florence, in front of a church, probably the Badia Fiorentina, a place frequented by both Dante, Beatrice and their respective families. Against the backdrop of Renaissance Florence, you can see people entering and leaving the church, while on the sides of the main scene there are figures of the people and a little girl sitting on the steps. The central scene represents the meeting between a young Dante, wearing the characteristic red tunic...
