Carlo Ciappa Antique Modern Italian Street Cityscape Oil Painting Old Italy 1959

  

WONDERFUL ITALIAN STREET SCENE IMPRESSIONIST OIL PAINTING ON CANVAS BY REVERED ITALIAN PAINTER CARLO CIAPPA. THIS WORK DEPICTS AN BRILLIANTLY RENDERED STREET MARKET IN OLD NAPLES ITALY. THE NARROW STREET ARE LINED WITH WEATHERED BUILDINGS, THEIR ORCHRE AND TERRACOTTA FACADES LENDING A WARM RUSTIC CHARM.

STALLS ADORNED BY COLORFUL AWNINGS AND OVERFLOWING WITH AN ASSORTMENT OF GOODS. THE STREETS ARE FILLED WITH VENDORS AND CUSTOMERS AS THE SUN FILTERS THROUGH THE NARROW GAPS BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS CASTING REFLECTIVE SHADOWS.

THIS BEAUTIFUL PAINTING CAPTURES THE ESSENCE OF THE ITALIAN'S CITY RICH HISTORY. IT DATES AROUND THE 1950s.

THERE'S CRAQUELURE WEAR FROM OLD AGE, AS SHOWN. IT ADDS CHARACTER TO THE PIECE AND DOES NOT DETRACT FROM ITS BEAUTY, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION. DIMENSIONS: 30"H x 42"W. Carlo Ciappa (1890 - 1970) was active/lived in Italy. Carlo Ciappa is known for Painting. Born: 1890 - Naples, Italy.
