Oil on canvas. Venetian school, first half of the 18th century. This well-crafted landscape is similar to the pictorial style of Bartolomeo Pedon (1665-1732), one of the most interesting landscape painters of the Venetian Baroque period. Rich in vegetation, the landscape centers on a path that leads from the woods toward the wide valley, where scattered farmhouses and a river can be seen in the distance; the landscape fades into blue tones that blend with the sky. Several figures move along the path in the foreground, a woman with a jug on her head (a small basin of water can be glimpsed on the left) conversing with a shepherdess sitting resting, while her sheep graze nearby, and other shepherds pass by on the path. The details of the vegetation are accurate and well-rendered, as are those of the buildings. The painting is presented in a contemporary wooden frame, regilded in the early 1900s.

Female Portrait

Oil on canvas. Signed on the right, halfway up the canvas. It is the portrait of a woman in mourning, a young widow, as can be deduced not only from her black dress, but rather from her headdress and especially from the cameo with a male portrait, which she wears hanging from her neck. Achille Zo was a French artist (from Bayonne, a town in the Pyrenees that was culturally influenced by the Basque Country), who despite having repeatedly stayed in Paris and Bordeaux, where he trained artistically, then made several trips to Spain, both to Madrid (in 1856) and to Andalusia (1860), producing for several years works with historical subjects or Spanish genre scenes. At the end of the 1860s, he turned instead to Orientalism. There are also several portraits in his production. The painting proposed here, on the first canvas, is presented in a beautiful contemporary frame from the second half of the 19th century.

Oil on canvas from the Venetian school of the first half of the 18th century. The landscape resembles the pictorial style of Bartolomeo Pedon, one of the most renowned Venetian landscape painters of the Baroque period. The scene, rich in vegetation, frames a clearing in the woods near a stream that joins a river. Shepherds, male and female, rest and eat while their flock grazes nearby. In the background, a valley extends with scattered buildings and mountain peaks fading into a blue sky. The details of the vegetation and buildings are accurate and well-rendered. The painting is presented in a contemporary wooden frame, regilded in the early 1900s.

Watercolor on paper. Signed lower left. Angelos Giallinas, born in Corfu, was known for his numerous views of his native island, although his landscape production includes glimpses of Greece, other Greek islands, Italian and oriental cities. His watercolor glimpses are pervaded by a suspended, veiled atmosphere. The painting has slight scratches. Framed.
