Luigi Cagliani
"Venetian Powder Room Scene with Figures" Impressionist Oil Painting on Canvas

Early 20th Century

About the Item

A whimsical oil painting depicting a Venetian Powder Room Scene with Figures getting ready for the masquerade. A truly intimate scene with a ornate mirror, flowers in a vase and white drapes. 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 horse and carriage in the distance. 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 comes displayed in an original carved wood frame with hanging wire on verso and is signed lower right. Art measures 24 x 20 in Frame measures 32.5 x 28 in PROVENANCE: Signed lower right. This original artwork includes a Certificate of Authenticity issued by the Gallery. The piece will be stamped from Lilac Gallery on its verso.

  • Scottish Impressionist 20th century oil, figures inside a clothing market
    By Murray McNeel Caird Urquhart
    Located in Woodbury, CT
    Scottish Impressionist 20th century oil, figures inside a clothing market. He exhibited at the Royal Academy; Royal Society of British Artists; Royal Hibernian Academy; Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts; Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours. Murray Urquhart was the son of Dr. Andrew Urquhart, Oakley, Kirkcudbright.  His mother, who died two weeks after Murray’s birth, was the daughter of Alexander McNeel Caird, Procurator Fiscal for Wigtownshire. This is a very unusual subject and market scenes like this are quite rare, I guess due to the complex nature of the subject and the difficulty in balancing the composition. The artist has done a wonderful job of painting this subject, it is a wonderful example of Scottish Impressionist painting...
