Painting by Antonio Basoli attributed to

Interior of the Temple of God Brahma

Watercolor, ink and pencil on paper. Applied to cardboard, on which at the bottom appears the owner's pencil inscription "Inventions, interior of the temple of the god Brama. Original by Professor Antonio Basoli". Also present, at the bottom right, is the stamp "Professor Antonio Basoli". Given his long career as a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, it can be assumed that one of his students became the owner of this drawing by Basoli, probably a scenographic sketch. Antonio Basoli established himself as a scenographer and decorator. Thanks to his creativity, he was able to integrate the Bolognese scenographic traditions with new trends, such as the neoclassical style and romantic vedutism. His scenographic production, documented in the collection of booklets of the Biblioteca Marucelliana in Florence from 1808 to 1820, was very vast, as demonstrated by his numerous sketches preserved mostly in Bologna, Milan and Florence. The drawing is presented in a period frame.

Antique Painting Signed Alphonse Monchablon Female Portrait 1896

Female Portrait, 1896

Oil on canvas. Signed and dated lower left. The young woman, dressed in white, is portrayed outdoors, sitting on a flowery meadow overlooking a sea coast, with the sky and sea blending into a chromatic uniformity of dark blue, against which the whiteness of the white dress stands out. Alphonse Monchablon was an important 19th-century French portraitist, who depicted several important historical figures. In this portrait of an unknown girl, Monchablon departs from the academic approach of formal official portraits, to give a more poetic connotation to the sweet and melancholic figure. The painting has been restored. It is presented in a contemporary frame, with floral decoration.

Antique Painting Female Portraits Oil on Canvas 1891

Oil on canvas. At the bottom right are the unidentified signature (partially erased), the location Rome and the date 1841. The portrait of this pair of women, presumably mother and daughter, is singular: the older woman is dressed strictly in black, in mourning, and her gaze is lost in the distance, chasing memories of her life, detaching herself from the present; the young woman, on the other hand, at the centre of the scene, is elegant and lively, in a pink dress and a precious white and gold satin cloak, with a white fur collar, a bunch of flowers in her hand; although leaning on the shoulder of the older woman, whom she holds under her arm with a confidential but also protective attitude, she displays a confident and determined expression, staring straight ahead towards the viewer, or perhaps reaching out towards the future that awaits her. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a period frame.

Antique Painting Winter Landscape Oil on Canvas '700-'800

Oil on canvas. The wide view frames a snowy mountain landscape, with a wide valley under sharp peaks, in which a small lake opens up; small figures of wayfarers walk along the path that starts from the village on the left. The whiteness of the snow creates a muffled and luminous atmosphere, in contrast with the dark cloudy sky. The painting is presented in a golden frame from the early 1900s.

Portrait of a Young Woman, 1842

Oil on canvas. Signature, date and location Milan on the lower left. The young woman portrayed is very elegant in her blue satin dress embellished with delicate lace, she sits on an elegant armchair; smiling, she looks at the viewer with intensity, showing off her beauty. There is an uncertain identification of the woman as Clementina Marchetti Grillo, a young noblewoman from Lecco, of whom there is another portrait by the same Luchini. The work is presented in a gilded frame from the second half of the 19th century, with missing parts (to be restored).

Antique Painting Battle Scene Oil on Canvas XIX Century

Oil on canvas. The scene shows the results of a battle, with survivors providing first aid to the wounded, carrying the bodies of their fallen comrades, and a friar blessing the dying. Officers on horseback count the victims and honor them. The scene is set in an open territory on the banks of a river, with rugged mountain slopes in the background. The rosy atmosphere of a sunset underlines the end of the day, of the battle, of the life lost in battle. The work is presented in a contemporary frame.

Painting by Paolo Sala

Landscape with Figures and Sheep

Oil on canvas. Signed on the back. Paolo Sala, born and trained in Milan, stood out as one of the most important landscape painters of his period, as well as a view painter of the many Italian and foreign cities in which he worked. He preferred watercolours, but also painted a lot in oil. He uses quick and broad brushstrokes, overlapping, in an impressionist style, playing with colours and lights to create suggestive atmospheres, as in this countryside landscape, where two female figures entertain themselves sitting at the edge of the path, on the bank of the river, and a flock of sheep grazes on the opposite side. In a contemporary gilded frame, with the painter's name indicated in the centre of the lower edge.
