Painter born in Catanzaro but trained in Naples, which became his adoptive city, Salvatore Petruolo was skilled in watercolor and in the use of oil colors, he made many landscapes similar to the School of Posillipo and many still lifes and flowers. The painting is presented in a period frame.

Courtship Scene 1887

Oil on canvas. Signed and dated lower right, with additional inscription "Baden" (place?). The scene shows a young couple in 18th-century folk clothes, sitting on a bench under a flowering tree, along a country path: the boy is making the girl try playing the recorder, a nice courtship device. There are no biographical information about the artist, who is of German origin by name and place indicated. The painting is presented in a period frame.

Spain, Early XIX Century

Pair of polychrome majolica plates in shades of blue and ochre. Decorated with plant and floral motifs, framed in geometric patterns rendered in blue. One of the two has a botanical decoration in the hollow.

Oil on canvas. Genoese school of the 18th century. The countryside landscape sees a crumbling structure rising in the center, the ruins of a building through whose torn walls you can see the masses of white clouds in the background flowing; in front of it flows a stream, in which a woman is washing clothes, while her companion sits on a nearby rock, in line with the female figure and almost symmetrical with the female figure. The scene is characterized by a particular search for light, by a dynamism of forms (you can notice the directional continuity of the treetops with the roof of the ruin and the clouds) and by the theatricality of the figures, all elements that have defined the pictorial production of the Genoese Baroque. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a period frame.
