Huge Original Oil Painting - Devity 1901-93 and 39 similar items

This is for an exceptional original oil on canvas by Antonio DeVity depicting the main street in front of the Paris Opera House(second building). This is a grand piece at 45x33. The frame has a few nicks and bumps here and there that could be retouched. This shows a busy street on an overcast day with nicely dressed people, street lamps, shops, restaurants and a horse drawn carriage. Also note the marking "Made in Italy" on the wood stretcher. DeVity would paint his pieces in France and then do the framing in Italy. Artist Bio: Born in Reggio-Calabria in 1901, Italian artist Antonio DeVity was a master of cityscape painting. After moving to Rome during early adulthood he was mentored by the famous painter Giacomo Balla, an artist credited as co-founder of the Futurism movement. The stunning streets of Paris became the focus for Antonio DeVity's impressionism. His work shows historical buildings and places just as they were in the early 1900's because he was actually there. *For those who are new to fine art note that all of the world famous 'brand name' painters are just that, brand names.
