Italian 19th Century Empire Style Oil Painting on Canvas

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 44” H x 36” W x ¾” D

A dramatic Italian painting on canvas from circa 1820, the Neoclassical still-life composition at the center has more dimension and intrigue against the negative space of a black background. In the manner of earlier Baroque and Dutch styles, depicted here is a stylized garden urn on pedestal with two scrolled handles. Romantic blossoms of hydrangea and petunias spill from the mouth of the urn hanging over the gadrooned bowl. The border around the edges of the stretched canvas is not paint but carefully decoupaged strips of paper in a wavy design of complementary tones. Regarding the appearance: the background shows areas of water spots, craquelure, and separation that adds to the character.We believe this to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos. Please view the detailed image gallery for the current condition and message us with any questions.
