� Adriano Bonifazi (1848 1914) � Bonifazi displaying early talent, was trained in Rome''s most prestigious Art Institute. � He quickly established himself in Rome and Capri - to become one of Italy�s leading late 19th C portrait Artists favoured by wealthy Italians and tourists who were amazed by his ability to produce �picture perfect� portraits of superb quality and detail. � His decorative works are found in collections in both Europe and America, including an example his work in the V&A Museum London. He tended to concentrate on relatively small portraits and his auction record for one work is over �30,000 in America. Quite a number of his works of the quality now offered are currently sold as prints throughout North America and Europe.� This pair of paintings are both signed and dated Capri 1877 and are painted on top quality panels which produce some of the most stable surfaces to paint on. � They represent Bonifazi at his absolute best - �a young boy and girl looking wistfully out of the picture space from a striking light blue background which evokes thoughts of a bright Mediterranean sky''.� Both Signed in top left-hand corner.� Note � sizes are for size of each frame. � Delivery �100 uk exc.
