Oil on Canvas of Italian Market Scene by Giuseppe Pitto

Traditional oil on canvas by Giuseppe Pitto depicting a beautiful young woman in a street market; she stands out from the scene since the background, the buildings, villagers, and stands have all been painted with small brushstrokes, unblended color, and the impression of form, generating a sense of movement. The artist uses a warm color palette that perfectly blends with the elegant carved gilt wood frame. Signed on the lower left. Made in Italy, c. 1920's. Giuseppe is often known for his paintings depicting pretty women in Italian street markets and his unique realist style, which emerged as a major art movement from 1840 to 1900.
