Athos Faccincani is one of Italy's most acclaimed painters. A vivid post-impressionist he employs vibrant color and expressive brush strokes to his canvases. His scenes depict buildings and landscapes that are familiar to his cultured audience. This particular cityscape of Florence shows the Dome of the city's principal church the Santa Maria del Fiore. The painting is displayed in an elegant yet simple gold leaf "half-round" frame. The canvas dates to the early 1980's and is in excellent condition. The frame may have some minor wear from handling.
