A whimsical oil painting depicting a Cafe scene with figures in Paris by the Park during spring 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 a wonderful town with a boat in the water under the bridge. 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 pathway. This painting is signed by the artist lower right and it comes housed in a beautiful gold tone wood carved frame with linen liner and ready to be displayed with hanging wire on verso.
