Manayunk Houses, Regional American Cityscape by Pennsylvania Impressionist
Located in Doylestown, PA
"Manayunk Houses" is a 25 x 50 inches, oil on canvas, regional, American cityscape by Pennsylvania Impressionist painter Giovanni Martino. Manayunk is a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The painting is signed "Giovanni Martino" in the lower right and titled on the stretcher.
The following is from Babette Martino, daughter of the artist:
Giovanni Martino, National Academy of Design* member, was born on May 1, 1908 in Philadelphia PA where all seven brothers and one sister, Filomina, Frank, Antonio, Albert, Ernest, Giovanni, Edmond, and William became painters. They were under the tutelage of their eldest brother, Frank, who in the late 1920s, founded the first commercial art studio, Martino Studios, at 27 South 18th Street.
Besides studying with his two eldest brothers, Giovanni also studied with Albert Jean Adolph at La France Institute, The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, The Graphic Sketch Club, and Spring Garden Institute in Philadelphia. In his mid teens he accompanied his two eldest brothers to New Hope searching for subjects to paint. In the 1930s, he also started to paint in Manayunk, a hilly mill town along the Schuylkill River. At this time he signed his paintings M. Giovanni.
These colorful impressionistic works proceeded more thinly painted dramatically poetic street scenes of the mill town. These images developed into impasto laden oils in the 1960's with some of the paintings worked with a palette knife.
In Manayunk, he was a common sight on the streets and sidewalks, painting on-the-spot with his wife, Eva Marinelli...

Holy Family, by the bolgonese master.
By Giuseppe Maria Crespi, Lo Spagnuolo
Located in Brooklyn, NY
This exquisite painting, resembling a precious jewel, serves as an exceptional illustration of the
devotional cabinet paintings created by Giuseppe Maria Crespi, a highly original Bolognese
artist during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Crespi's distinctiveness extended beyond his
unique style and technique to the subjects he chose to portray. While his portraits and genre
paintings often displayed a light-hearted and even irreverent tone, his treatment of religious
themes resonated with deep emotion, even in its most inventive forms.
This recently uncovered work by Crespi is a typical representation, invoking the tender
connection between mother and child, and the Child's destiny, all within a compact and intimate
format. Executed on a small scale, the painting showcases Crespi's remarkable sensitivity and
mastery of paint, especially evident in the expressive brushwork of the drapery.
The restrained and focused composition of the Holy Family allows for contemplation of the
figures. Mary cradles the Christ child gently, seemingly presenting him to the viewer, her gaze
knowing as the infant holds a diminutive cross, symbolizing his future crucifixion. Joseph
appears in the background, emerging from the left side of the frame, gazing upward with folded
hands in prayer.
Individual motifs from this painting reappear in other works by Crespi, suggesting a synthesis of
familiar elements into a vibrant composition. The artist's revisitation of designs throughout his
career is evident, and this painting on copper likely belongs to a later period, reflecting stylistic
ties to other works and Crespi's increased production of smaller devotional pieces.
Distinguished by its cool palette, bold coloration, and the expressive force of the artist's hand,
this Holy Family painting...

Shop Abstract, Landscape, Figurative and Still-Life Paintings
Painting is an art form that has spanned innumerable cultures, with artists using the medium to tell stories, explore and communicate ideas and express themselves. To bring abstract, landscape and still-life paintings into your home is to celebrate and share in the long tradition of this discipline.
When we look at paintings, particularly those that originated in the past, we learn about history, other cultures and countries of the world. Like every other work of art, paintings — whether they are contemporary creations or works that were made during the 19th century — can often help us clearly see and understand the world around us in a meaningful and interesting way.
Cave walls were the canvases for what were arguably the world’s first landscape paintings, which depict natural scenery through art. Portrait paintings and drawings, which, along with sculpture, were how someone’s appearance was recorded prior to the advent of photography, are at least as old as Ancient Egypt. In the Netherlands, landscapes were a major theme for painters as early as the 1500s. Later, artists in Greece, Rome and elsewhere created vast wall paintings to decorate stately homes, churches and tombs. Today, creating a wall of art is a wonderful way to enhance your space, showcase beautiful pieces and tie an interior design together.
No matter your preference, whether you favor Post-Impressionist paintings, animal paintings, Surrealism, Pop art or another movement or specific period, arranging art on a blank wall allows you to evoke emotions in a room while also showing off your tastes and interests. A symmetrical wall arrangement may comprise a grid of four to six pieces or, for an odd number of works, a horizontal row. Asymmetrical arrangements, which may be small clusters of art or large, salon-style gallery walls, have a more collected and eclectic feel. Download the 1stDibs app, which includes a handy “View on Wall” feature that allows you to see how a particular artwork will look on a particular wall, and read about how to arrange wall art. And if you’re searching for the perfect palette for your interior design project, what better place to turn than to the art world’s masters of color?
On 1stDibs, you’ll find an expansive collection of paintings and other fine art for your home or office. Browse abstract paintings, portrait paintings, paintings by popular artists and more today.
