Craquelure to entire surface. A few isolated losses of color. Soiled and varnish yellowed. Overall still good. Italy - German-Roman village on the Italian Mediterranean coast. 1850s. Oil on canvas. 25 x 41 cm. Framed in gold-colored stucco frame. - Edges sporadically with slight paint abrasion as trace of framing. Craquelure to entire surface. A few isolated losses of color. Soiled and varnish yellowed. Overall still good. In accordance with the style and motif, our painting is presumably by a so-called German-Roman, one of the many romantically inclined German painters who set off for Italy in the 19th century in order to capture the place of longing in pictures. This fascination was often the reason why the German artists unexpectedly extended their travels to sometimes decades-long stays, mainly localized around villages near Rome. In the course of this, some also founded so-called artists' colonies such as this one in Olevano south of Rome, where the painters concentrated and lived together. The term "German-Romans" derives from their nationality and their new adopted home. Oil on canvas. Framed in golden stucco frame. - Edges with slight color abrasion in places as traces of framing.
