Oil on canvas. Central European school of the 18th century. The distinguished lady, who flaunts a dress enriched with bows and lace, is seated at her desk and holds a letter in her hand; at the bottom left an envelope bears traces of a name, unfortunately illegible, a device to make the portrayed character known.

Antique Painting Historical Subject Oil on Canvas XVIII Century

Oil on canvas. This is an ancient copy of the work by Giovanni Battista Salvi, known as Sassoferrato (1609 -1685), now preserved in the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria (Palazzo dei Priori), which was previously exhibited for a long time in the church of San Severo in Perugia. Sassoferrato's models of Madonnas were very successful and were therefore widely copied and replicated. The painting, restored and relined, is presented in a period frame.

Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a late 19th century gilded frame.

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.

Painting The Passing of Saint Joseph

Oil on canvas. The painting depicts the death of Saint Joseph who, according to the apocryphal gospels, was assisted by Mary and Jesus: the dying man lies in his bed of agony, affectionately surrounded by his wife Mary in tears, and by his putative son Jesus, who points upwards to signal the divine light ready to welcome man; at the foot of the bedside, an angel in prayer. Joseph's is considered the most desirable and peaceful form of death, of old age, in one's own bed and surrounded by loved ones, and for this reason the Saint is considered the patron of the dying and of sweet death. On the first canvas, the painting is presented in a late 19th century moulded frame.

Contemporary Painting Signed Paolo Patelli Mixed Technique 2003

Untitled, 2003

Mixed media on paper. Signed and numbered on the back. Copy No. 40 of an edition of 350, of which the first 50 copies are numbered and signed by the artist. These works were created as an attachment to the Catalogue of the 1040th exhibition at the Galleria del Cavallino -Venice, held in October 2003 and dedicated to the works of Paolo Patelli, as indicated in the colophon of the brochure, where there is a further signature of the artist and dedication. Paolo Patelli, an artist of Istrian origins, expresses the joy of painting, creating works that are enriched by his passion for music. The rhythmic spirit of the artist's style captures movements, translating them into a visual language that breaks the mold of traditional artistic models, making every line and every brushstroke visible, leaving a wide exposure of the paper surface.
