Antique Painting with Mountain Landscape Oil on Canvas 1894

Oil painting on canvas. Bottom right signed Borella and dated 1894. It is probably Rafael Borella (1874 -1953), a painter born and trained in Milan but then moved to Uruguay. His first Italian production includes Venetian and Val d'Aosta landscapes. This painting, which offers a mountain view, with meadows crossed by a stream near which a fisherman sits. The scene could therefore be a youthful production by Borella, suited to him in terms of subject and style. The work is presented in a contemporary frame.

Painting Attributed to Antonio Basoli

Interior of Greek Temple

Watercolor, ink and pencil on paper. Applied to cardboard, on which at the bottom appears the owner's pencil writing "Interior of a Greek temple of the goddess Diana in Ephesus set on fire by Herostratus. 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. 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 librettos 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 style frame.

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.
