A charming 20th-century oil on canvas depicting M. Briante’s Gallery and the Fontana del Tritone in Rome, presented in a giltwood frame. While the exact age of the painting is unclear, the scene captures a bygone era of the gallery, now a restaurant. M. Briante, who passed in 1971, may have had students execute such works, as his daughter and others continued his artistic legacy. The absence of cars and the presence of a horse-drawn carriage add a nostalgic touch, offering subtle clues about its period. The painting is signed, but not dated.
Radiating character and a continental charm, this piece is perfect for art lovers or anyone with a love for Italy. A wonderful size to add warmth and elegance to any living space.
