A whimsical oil painting depicting a Street Scene in Venice of people going to a from a masquerade, by Luigi Cagliani. As an Italian Impressionist artist, most of Cagliani's works were produced in the first half of the 20th Century. He was known for his charming compositions and settled in Lombardy, which helps explain his passion for intimate Parisian style paintings. He also favored painting scenes set of Venice. This piece is a wonderful display of figures going about their day in with buildings depicted on each side, and a busy coffe shop. The colors and lighting of this piece is truly a joy to discover, as we can feel the moment in time set beautifully. The details are soft and elegant as the shadows pick up specks of light throughout the street. This painting is signed by the artist lower right and it comes comes housed in a beautiful gold patina with linen liner wood frame ready to be displayed with hanging wire on verso.
