Description
C-9007
Artist: Umberto Bianchini (1934 – 2010)
Date: 1960s-1980s
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Style/Movement: Impressionism
Dimensions: 30.25" W x 22.75" H
Additional Details: Atmospheric oil on canvas by Italian painter Umberto Bianchini, titled "Riva." This impressionistic landscape captures a lakeside or riverside village at dusk, with the fading sunlight casting soft reflections across still water. Bianchini’s loose, emotive brushwork dissolves architectural detail into a moody haze, evoking both place and memory in a single gesture.
The subdued palette-burnt umber, olive, ochre, and blush-infuses the scene with warmth and nostalgia. Trees blur into buildings, and their mirrored forms in the water lend the piece a dreamlike symmetry. Signed "U. Bianchini" on the lower left.
