Italian Art - Flavor & Savor
Ciao.
Italy has long been associated with history, architecture and romance. The paintings that reflect Venice, Tuscany, Rome and other areas are no exception. When you see art through the eyes of the painter, you are seeing the beauty they see and experience. Mediterranean art is the best of the Old World brought to life on your walls with Oil Paintings that depict the charm and serenity that is characteristic of this part of the world.
Italian art, which is also called Mediterranean or Tuscan art, is a style of art that will speak to your emotions. When you gaze at Hand Painted artwork of Italian vineyards, seascapes and gardens, you will feel the beauty and the history that is so much a part of the essence of Italy. The flavor of countryside, the waterways and canals, the classical architecture, the religious institutions and history…all of these things are so expertly depicted through texture, vibrancy and colors of Italian artwork. It is as if the oil paint on the piece of canvas is real, you will feel like you are standing there in the midst of the shops, the wineries and the beautiful Mediterranean coast.
Many people have visited Italy and look to Italian art to re-create the memory of this beautiful and fascinating country. For those people who haven’t had the opportunity to experience the countryside, the food, and the people first-hand, Italian art serves to give them the feel of what is must be like. Whether its biking through the countryside and seeing the 100+ year old vineyards, buying dinner at an Italian restaurant of bistro, or touring many of the historic sites, Italian art expresses and transmits the heart and soul of Italian life.
Unfortunately, much of the original Italian art is hanging in art galleries and museums around the world and many people don’t have the opportunity to view it. And much of it is outrageously expensive. The good news is that oil painting reproductions are a great way to be able to own a piece of Italian art to hang in your home or your office. Oil painting reproductions are hand painted oil paintings on canvas. They are very affordable and available in a variety of sizes.
Today’s oil painting reproductions capture the simplicity, the romance and essence of Italy. The artists who paint reproductions are skilled at capturing the unique life of Italy and the surrounding Mediterranean area. These oil paintings are some of the best you will see by artists who know how to bring out the personality and charm of the area.
Oil painting reproductions of the great artists such as Picasso, Monet, Dali and others are extremely popular and an affordable way to add style and impact to the décor of your home. For the average art lover, it can be extremely difficult to tell the oil painting reproduction from the real thing.
The use of color, the thickness of the brush strokes, and even the smell of the oil paint all contribute to the expression and personality that comes through in reproduction artwork. Reproduction artists study hard to capture the unique style and trademark of the original artist.
If you want to capture the Old World charm of the Italy in your home, reproduction artwork is an affordable and great way to add impact, charm and beauty to your home. Oil painting reproductions are so breathtakingly beautiful they will make you, and others, take notice every time.
La bella Italia!

Made by Hand $15.99 From his unique vantage point as editor-in-chief of Make magazine, the hub of the do-it-yourself movement, Mark Frauenfelder takes readers on an inspiring and surprising tour of the vibrant world of DIY. All in one delicious book called Made by Hand. Frauenfelder spent a year trying a variety of offbeat projects such as keeping chickens and bees, tricking out his espresso machine, whittling wooden spoons, making guitars out of cigar boxes, and doing citizen science with his daughters in the garage. His whole family found that DIY helped them take control of their lives, offering deeply satisfying alternatives for spending time together. Working with their hands and minds helped them feel more engaged with the world around them. Frauenfelder also profiles fascinating "alpha makers" leading various DIY movements and grills them for their best tips and insights. He offers a unique perspective on how earning a few calluses can be far more rewarding than another trip to the mall. Made by Hand is an adventure in DIY from the best dang DIYers out there. Mr. Frauenfelder - we salute ye! Seriously though, kids - this is a great book. You'll thank yourself for getting it. And just so you don't complain, we know Mark isn't the one who wears goggles and a red cape. But we're guessing the one who does likes this book, too! |
