His initial painting was more analytical and, particularly in portraits, the artist aimed to render the strong psychological and introspective charge of the portrayed. Towards the fifties he devoted himself to still lifes and landscapes, fascinated above all by the Ligurian sea, transferring his passion for the analysis of emotions and feelings to these new subjects and recreating them through the colors and shades of nature.

S. Lucia Flower Market

Oil on the table. Signed lower right. On the back the title in pencil. It is a lively and intense glimpse of the Pallonetto di S.

Sandro Vacchetti

'Le Piante as dan la Buna' 1962

Oil on cardboard. On the back there is a label with the name of the artist, the date and the title. Belonging to a family of Piedmontese painters, Sandro Vacchetti was an eclectic artist, who experimented not only in painting but also as an illustrator, set designer and above all as a ceramist. Sandro Vacchetti's pictorial production can easily be divided into two main thematic groups: that of portraits, whose stylistic language is similar to that used by the artist for his ceramic creations, and that of landscapes, which mostly portray places familiar to the teacher, linked to childhood memories: places of the soul, filtered through the emotions that make them even more intimate. The small landscape view proposed here belongs to this second group. In frame.

Oil on Canvas by Edgard Farasyn XX Century

Beach work scene

Oil on canvas. Signed lower right. The imposing scene describes the undertaking of hauling a boat ashore with a horse-drawn trailer: the six mighty beasts are the protagonists, located in pairs on different floors, while some fishermen arrange the tow ropes; sea, sky and beach are placed on three parallel lines, which also fade chromatically into each other; perpendicular to these lines, the flagpole of the boat, which creates the union between the three elements. Edgar Pierre Jozef Farasyn (his name also appears as "Edgard Farasyn" and "Edgard Farasijn".) Belgian artist trained in Antwerp where he then worked, he was a painter, watercolorist, engraver, graphic designer. I He initially painted scenes for children, but from 1885 he switched to painting in the open air, painting many city scenes and in the old fish market of Antwerp, but also many rural landscapes and views of the villages. Attracted by the sea, he stayed there regularly, creating many realistic scenes from the life of fishermen and their families. His early works were characterized by a realistic style, with rather gray and gloomy colors, and with a rigorous atmosphere. Later he moved on to a brighter use of color and a subtle representation of light. Due to its large size (unusual for the artist), the work presented here suggests a work for an important client. It is presented in a rich golden frame from the early 1900s.

Oil on Canvas by Carlo Monti Italy XX Century

Glimpse of Lake Maggiore

Oil on canvas. Carlo Monti, born in Arona, and trained in the nude school of the Brera Academy and in the studio of his friend Usellini, was an artist who lived and worked rather isolated from the world, following his own inner vein, shunning groups, by currents and schools; his very presence at the personal and collective exhibitions takes place at the request and invitation of the gallery owners themselves. He mainly devoted himself to the landscape, mostly set in the Lombard nature and its Piedmont, and expressed through strong and warm tones, capturing nature from life and transfiguring it, without lingering in detail. Monti has also made portraits, which are in great demand, but with a very different executive technique from that used in landscapes: if in these he has given vent to the sign and personal calligraphy, in the portrait, in general, he has dedicated himself to the introspection of the subject to be painted, resulting in a more rigorous drafting and a less evident display of signs. The painting is presented in a styled frame.
