This is in excellent condition. Nicola Simbari Born 1927 in Italy. A painter of semiabstract impressionist works; he is a stunning colorist who favors brilliant tones, richly layered with a palette knife. Like the great impressionists of a century ago, Simbari's paintings are drenched in light and energy, but provide new definition through his intensity of vision and dramatic technique. His father worked as an architect to the Vatican. The City's Renaissance masterpieces and the artistic treasures of the Sistine Chapel so moved Simbari that, before his 13th birthday, he decided to study art and enrolled at the Accademia delle Belle Arti. At 22, he opened his first studio in Rome. Influenced by the sights and sounds of his childhood, Simbari's early works featured gypsies, cafe settings, fishing villages, and rustic scenes of the Italian countryside. Simbari was awarded the coveted commission to paint murals for the Italian Pavilion at the 1958 World's Fair in Brussels. Simbari holds a pivotal place in today's international art scene. His works can be found in numerous museums and private and corporate collections the world over.
