The Antique Paintings category, Mediterranean Coast Landscape, offers an Oil on Canvas painting from the early twentieth century depicting a natural landscape, a seascape, and olive trees with sinuous shapes and gnarled trunks. In the background, behind the trees, the sea and a profile of hills or mountains fading into the distance can be glimpsed. The painting gives a sense of depth, the tones are warm in the ground and trunks, and the light is soft. The work is signed Filippini in the lower left, an Italian painter known for his landscapes and seascapes.
Emilio Filippini (1870-1938) was born in Cattolica and enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, but interrupted his studies in 1890 to complete his military service in Lucca. His stylistic references include Guglielmo Ciardi, the pictorial serenity of Pietro Fragiacomo, and the naturalistic approach of Giacomo Favretto. He participated in exhibitions in various cities in northern Italy, including Ravenna, Rimini, Bologna, and Padua. In 1999, the monograph "Emilio Filippini, solitary painter 1870-1938", and more recently, the exhibition "Emilio Filippini, poet of light".
The oil painting is presented with a beautiful gilded frame from the same period as the painting. The frame and the antique canvas have been carefully and professionally restored.
