Lot #62: Sunset Serenade signed by Zanussi — Original Mid-Century Oil Painting

Bring warmth, atmosphere, and timeless character into your space with “Sunset Serenade,” an original mid-to-late 20th-century oil painting by Zanussi. This evocative landscape captures the quiet beauty of a golden twilight, where slender birch trees rise beside a tranquil riverbank and the fading sun casts rich amber and golden tones across the scene. Zanussi’s use of heavy impasto gives the painting exceptional depth and texture, with raised brushwork bringing the birch bark, shoreline, and surrounding landscape almost physically off the surface. As the light changes throughout the day, the sculpted paint catches and reflects it differently, allowing the sunset tones to continually shift and glow. The painting remains housed in its original elegant period frame and is executed on canvas board, characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century studio work. Adding an especially personal element to its history, the reverse carries a faded pencil dedication from parents to their son, giving the piece a genuine sense of provenance, family history, and character. Perfect for a sophisticated living room, study, office, cottage, or mid-century inspired interior, this is far more than simply decorative wall art. “Sunset Serenade” by Zanussi is an original, textured work of art with warmth, history, and undeniable visual presence—a painting designed to be enjoyed for generations.
