About Italian Villa

A portrait-format landscape built around three slender tree trunks that rise the full height of the canvas, their pale bark catching light against a luminous yellow sky. Behind them, dense olive and blue-green foliage is massed in broad strokes. At the centre sits a pale cream villa or chapel with a small copper-toned dome and lantern, flanked by a smaller ochre-roofed building to the right. A soft green clearing and a strip of water sit at the base, with dark shrubs framing the foreground.

The paint surface is loose and heavily worked, with thick scrapes of yellow and cream in the sky and short dabs of green over darker underlayers. A small signature sits in the lower left. Overall the picture feels warm and quiet, with a late-afternoon glow filtering through the trees.

Suits a dining room, hallway or bedroom with warm neutral walls, timber furniture and linen textiles. The upright shape works well on a narrow wall between windows or above a sideboard. Pairs with brass lamps, rattan and greenery, and sits comfortably in farmhouse, French provincial and traditional Australian interiors.
