'The Boat on the River' by Pompeo Mariani

This serene river scene is infused with beauty and a sense of mystery. The fluid quality of the watercolour has been brilliantly utilised to create a soft-focus to the image, adding a particular delicacy to the piece. Mariani was an italian artist particularly known for his works exploring the subtle effects of light falling on water. This evocative scene is a classic example of his work. He exhibited widely throughout his life and won numerous prizes and awards. His works appear frequently at auction and oil paintings have sold for almost £50, 000 at major auction houses such as sotheby's and christie's.
