The Department that organises the antique painting auctions presents in its catalogues artworks of high artistic value that bear witness to the rarity, refinement, and beauty of over 400 years of art history.
The reference period of the Department of Antique Drawings and Paintings is quite extensive: it showcases artworks produced from the 15th century to the 19th century. Often, the artworks that are offered at auction being sourced from private collections, for this reason paintings are unseen before on the art market.
There is no doubt, therefore, that the antique painting auctions offered by Art La Rosa Auction House are opportunities not to be missed for collectors and lovers of antique and period painting who wish to acquire rare and sometimes unpublished paintings. The paintings presented by the Department belong to the great masters and various Italian and European schools, with a special focus on works from the Venetian, Tuscan, Bolognese, Genoese, and Flemish schools. The catalogs of antique painting auctions include works of different styles or painting genres: from landscapes to still lifes, from epic scenes to glimpses of everyday life, from historical painting, capable of immortalizing the noblest and most iconic events in human history, to portraits of famous figures. Special attention is given to antique paintings of southern production, a category that has offered one of the top lots in our painting auctions: a 17th-century oil on canvas depicting Saint Jerome from the Ribera school.
The Department of Antique Drawings and Paintings now boasts the opportunity to auction a marvelous work signed by Paul Gauguin, a gouache portraying a group of five girls with umbrellas, a piece from the collection of a distinguished Catania family. The work reflects the Cloisonnism technique, used by the artist with watercolor to experiment with the highlighting of colored areas in the scene. The collection of antique drawings offers high-quality works, both by well-known artists and those from their circles, such as Guido Reni, Pietro Novelli, and Luca Giordano.
