Italian school (XX) - Sera in laguna

Oil on canvas Evening in the lagoon Period: 20th century Signed Laurenti bottom right Good overall condition. Patinated. Dimensions: 54x68; 36x50 outside the frame Provenance: noble Palermo family The work captures a moment of crepuscular quiet in the Venetian lagoon, with traditional sailing boats and fishermen in backlight on a surface of water gilded by the reflections of the setting sun. The composition shows a superb mastery of late-Impressionist luminism. The brushwork is tactile, fluid and blurred, applied with great chromatic freedom to convey the vibration of the atmosphere and the water, surpassing mere photographic realism in favor of a deep poetic and emotional restitution. The back of the canvas bears an original period paper cartouche from the gallery "Dipinti Spaca" handwritten, formally certifying the title (Sera in Laguna) and the author (C. Laurenti - Venice). The frame, contemporaneous, is wooden with a double gold/silver leaf profile and an elegant neutral fabric mat. Shows very slight and normal signs of time. Traced shipping with courier note bene: The frame is considered as a gift Any damage caused by transport is not a reason for complaint or cancellation of the sale

Estimate:£166.7
