Young Women Bathing, 1855

Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in pencil on the back on the frame "LG Gaibazzi". Giovanni Gaibazzi, an artist from Parma who worked extensively for his city and for the Empress Maria Luigia of Parma, wife of Napoleon I, stood out for his portraits, but also for sacred subjects and mythological scenes. His painting, of a romantic taste, is characterized by good drawing and chromatic precision. The scene shows a group of girls bathing in a pond in the middle of a thick forest. The dark background of the vegetation makes the white-pink bodies of the female bodies stand out, luminous and graceful in their movements. The painting, on the first canvas, shows traces of two small repairs on the back. It is presented in a frame from the early 1900s.

Oil on canvas. Northern Italian school of the 19th century. The landscape depicts a wide countryside that opens onto the Alpine mountain range, preceded by the gentler pre-Alpine hill slopes; on the central path, which runs straight and perpendicular to the reliefs, a commoner is passing with his mule. The atmosphere is that of the end of the day, with pink shades illuminating the snow-capped peak. A very similar subject can be found in the production of the circle of Carlo Canella (1800 -1879), the Veronese artist known above all for his city views. The work is presented in a late 19th-century frame.

Oil on canvas. Half-length portrait of an elderly peasant couple, she with her head covered by a red scarf, he with a traditional headdress; the two faces emerge from the dark background with dignified and serene expressions. The painting is presented in a contemporary frame.

The Ancient Triskelion 1997

Mixed media on board. Signed and dated lower right. On the back, further signature, date and title. Driven by an intense intellectual curiosity that has characterized every moment of his experience, not only creative, but also human and professional, the Ancona artist Giorgio Villa has developed his own principles of thought and action, on rigorous bases of a scientific-mathematical approach, nourished by a profound poetic inspiration and a deep-rooted sense of beauty. The search for a path to follow, free from patterns or cultural ties characterizes his art; Villa moves in the sphere of imagination, feelings and the poetry of images. Each work is the fruit of a meditated inspiration, moment by moment, allowing space for reflection, for the considered gesture, analyzing the relationships between space and matter, between colors and shape, to identify the perfect synthesis, which makes a work of art unique and unrepeatable. In this work Villa depicts the Triskelion, or the ancient symbol formed by three spirals joined at a central point, more generally three intertwined spirals, or, by extension, any other symbol with three protuberances and a triple rotational symmetry.

Oil on panel. In the upper center, framed half-length, Mary presents her Son, blessing and holding the scroll of Scripture, to the three Saints standing in the lower portion of the panel. Above their heads, in Cyrillic, their names that identify them as Saint Nicholas in the center, Saint Helena and a third unidentified. Traces of previous restorations.

Oil on canvas. Italian school of the 18th century. The elegant gentleman is portrayed with some volumes placed on the surface in front of him, on the spines of which the authors can be read; the name of Paolo Valcarenghi, a professor at the Faculty of Medicine of Pavia in the 18th century, stands out in particular. The man portrayed therefore wants to underline his belonging to the world of Medicine. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a frame reconstructed with ancient elements and equipped on the upper side with a working lighting headlight from the mid-1900s.

Oil on canvas. Portrait of a nobleman flaunting the important honor of the Order of the Golden Fleece, a chivalric order established in Bruges in 1431 by Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, with the task of spreading the Catholic religion, and later passed to the House of Habsburg and subsequently also to the Bourbons of Spain; it is considered the highest and most important order of chivalry. The painting, relined, is presented in an 18th-century frame, which requires restoration.
