A whimsical oil painting depicting a carnival scene in Paris, France by Luigi Cagliani. As an Italian Impressionist artist Cagliani most of his works were produced in the first half of the 20th Century, he was known for his charming compositions. He was settled in Lombardy, which helps explain his passion for lakeside scenes and he also favored painting scenes set of Venice. This piece is a wonderful display of children riding a carousel as mothers stand along watching. The colors are soft and elegant as the shadows pick up specks of light throughout the pathway. This painting is signed by the artist lower right and it comes comes housed in a beautiful gold tone gilt wood frame ready to be displayed with hanging wire on verso.
