Burano, Venice. Gondolas, Canal and Village View. Oil on Board.

2008

About the Item

Early 21st Century Expressionist oil on board view of gondolas on a canal with village backdrop possibly in Burano, Venice by Roberto Feruzzi. Signed to the bottom left and presented in a custom made white painted wooden frame. A wonderfully vibrant and highly colourful representation of a local scene with gondolas capturing the full splendour of the summer sun in Venice. Quick brushstrokes lend a great vibrancy and energy to the painting. A real jewel. Roberto Ferruzzi was born in Venice on October 30th, 1927, into a family of artists, indeed he is the grandson of the Roberto Ferruzzi who painted the famous "Madonnina". He attended art school in Venice, where he studied with the artist Aldo Salvadori. In 1951 he travelled abroad, staying for short periods in Austria, Germany, Denmark and Sweden, before settling down for a year in Oslo, establishing his reputation in artistic circles with his painting, but also devoting himself to mosaics and ceramics, and obtaining many commissions for works in public buildings and private homes. Afterward he went to London, and then to Paris, where he remained for two years dedicating himself to the study of landscape and the nude. In 1956 he returned to Scandinavia to paint and carry out further commissions. Moving to Chile the following year, he made brief study trips to Spain, Brazil, Argentina and other South American countries. He was in Santiago, Chile, for three years, where he did a great deal of painting as well as mosaics and ceramics for churches, educational institutes, hospitals and hotels, and at the same time produced a large number of sketches. He subsequently worked in Northern Europe again, in Greece, Yugoslavia, in London and Venice, where he had his studio. During these years of traveling abroad he collaborated with well-known architects and set designers, encountered and spent time with artists of many nationalities including Dufy, Lhote, Marquet, Desnoyer, Bonel, Girard, Rolf Nesch and Aikaas, trying to draw on their invaluable experience, advice and insight without compromising his own artistic identity, and in fact winning their praise and recognition. Feruzzi passed away in 2010.

  • Figurative Portrait in the Style of Ramiro Arrue, The Gypsy Caravan
    By Ramiro Arrue
    Located in Cotignac, FR
    Figurative Expressionist portrait and scene of a travellers gypsy caravan. The painting is signed bottom right, Fayo (?) but further research is necessary for an attribution. Presented in a fine chip carved Montparnasse frame. Provenance: from a Private French collection, South of France. A strong and powerful scene, part portrait part scene of a travellers life. Both characters seem to be in quiet contemplation aware of each other but not looking. The artist has created a mood to the painting featuring simple lines with an almost monumental quality and muted colour harmonies. The work is very reminiscent of the paintings of Ramiro Arrue and the scenes of his beloved Basque country. Ramiro Arrue was born in Bilbao, into an artistic family: his three older brothers, Alberto, Ricardo, and José, were also artists and frequently held joint exhibitions with him. He also had two sisters. Their father, Lucas Arrue, was an art collector who sold his collections (including a Goya) to pay for the artistic training of his sons. At the age of nineteen, Ramiro travelled to Paris to take courses at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. Living in Montparnasse, he became an associate of his countrymen Ignacio Zuloaga and Paco Durrio, as well as the sculptor Antoine Bourdelle, who became a close friend. He was also associated with Picasso, Modigliani, and Jean Cocteau. In 1911, Arrue exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français. In 1922, along with his friends Philip Veyrin and Commandant William Boissel, he founded the Musée Basque at Bayonne. In 1925 Arrue won a gold medal at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs. He exhibited in Bayonne, Pau, Strasbourg, Bilbao, and Cordoba. Along with his brother José, he travelled and exhibited in South America, to Buenos Aires and Montevideo. He often, however, returned to the Basque Country, particularly to Saint-Jean-de-Luz, where he settled in 1917 and where he found his main inspiration for landscapes, portraits, and everyday scenes. In 1929, he married Suzanne: they went on honeymoon in St. Tropez. Arrue produced illustrations for Francis Jammes (La Noce basque), Pierre Loti (Ramuntcho), Joseph Peyré (Jean le basque...
