Lot #89: Antique Romantic Landscape Painting in Ornate Gilt Frame

This striking antique landscape painting captures the timeless beauty and quiet poetry of a pastoral countryside. Rolling hills, mature trees, and a gently winding river lead the eye into the distance, where soft architectural forms suggest a distant village nestled within the landscape. Bathed in warm, golden light, the scene evokes the romantic traditions of late 19th-century European painting, where atmosphere, mood, and natural harmony were paramount. Executed in oil, the painting displays confident brushwork and a richly aged surface that adds depth and character. The color palette—lush greens, deep earth tones, and glowing ambers—creates a sense of serenity and permanence, making this piece both visually calming and emotionally engaging. Equally impressive is the original antique gilt wood frame, adorned with hand-carved detailing and finished with a red velvet liner. Frames of this caliber were crafted as works of art in their own right and greatly elevate the overall presence of the piece, making it ideal for a mantel, library wall, or formal sitting room. Signed by the artist and dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, this painting offers the charm of true period artwork with strong decorative and collector appeal. It is a refined statement piece—elegant, atmospheric, and timeless—that brings old-world character and quiet sophistication to any interior. Dimensions: 56”W2”D32”H Pickup category timeslot {A}
