Strickland & Russell has dated this Antique Italian Oil Painting to the 19th Century.
Surface: Oil on Panel
Artist and signature: Signed by Francesco Gioli (Italian 1846-1922)
He trained initially at the Accademia di Pisa, then at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence under respected teachers like Antonio Ciseri and Enrico Pollastrini. In the early part of his career he painted history and genre scenes, then gradually incorporated landscape and naturalist influences, especially after exposure to:
The Macchiaioli movement (a pre-Impressionist Italian group) and French naturalism during time in Paris and the light and countryside around Pisa and Tuscany.
Gioli also enjoyed artistic success, including participation in international exhibitions and a solo room at the 1914 Venice Biennale. He was later appointed professor at major Italian academies, cementing his reputation within Italian art circles.

Important notice regarding frames – please read carefully.
Items which are presented in frames are usually the old original frames which came with the artwork. We would typically only remove the frames if they were severely broken or damaged. In line with our conservation ethos, we believe that a painting should be sold within its original setting rather than re-presenting in a contemporary mount & frame unless necessary. Customers also prefer to choose their own way of presenting their painting or engraving. Frames therefore WILL have wear, discolouration or damage in line with their age.
When we value and sell artwork, we provide the frame free. We do not accept liability for damage caused to frame in transit. We are more than happy to remove frames before posting at the customer’s request
Condition report: The painting is considered to be in good condition in line with age. Some age related wear is evident on close inspection but the composition holds character.
