The painting is particularly special in its magnificent early Empire gilt frame, richly decorated with scrolling foliage, rosettes and palmette ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a distinctly Romantic sensibility to the composition. The old architecture, quiet water and expansive landscape evoke the picturesque fascination with historic ruins and rural scenery that became increasingly important to European artists during the opening decades of the nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood antique condition with visible age-related craquelure and surface character consistent with a painting approximately two centuries old. The early Empire frame retains a beautiful historic patina with rubbing, marks, small losses and areas of wear appropriate to its considerable age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench School\u003cbr\u003eEarly 19th century\u003cbr\u003eOil painting\u003cbr\u003eRiver \/ architectural landscape\u003cbr\u003eArtist currently unidentified\u003cbr\u003eEarly Empire gilt frame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing incl Frame:\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 16.14 inch (41cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 19.29 inch (49cm)\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 2.56 inch (6.5cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing Painting:\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 10.43 inch (26.5cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 13.78 inch (35cm)\u003cbr\u003eFREE International Shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsurance:\u003cbr\u003eAll products are shipped in good boxes and very well packaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll products are shipped fully insured for international shipping.
