Artist: Antonio Medros
Year: 1982
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 14.5 × 20 inches
Style: Impressionism, European
Period: Late 20th Century
Condition: Excellent
Description: These two original oils by 20th-century Italian artist Antonio Medros capture two distinctly Roman views with the loose, atmospheric handling that makes his cityscapes so charming. Medros is known for his Italian scenes, particularly views of Rome, with other documented works depicting locations such as Piazza Navona and St. Peter’s Square.
One brings us directly into the energy of a Roman piazza, where figures move through the square beneath grand Baroque architecture and around a brilliant turquoise fountain. Up close, the details almost dissolve into expressive strokes of color, but from a distance the entire city comes alive.
Its companion offers a quieter view of Rome along the water, with the great dome of St. Peter’s rising softly in the distance. A lone boat sits on the river while laundry, rooftops, figures, and warm Italian architecture fill the opposite bank. Together, they capture two sides of the city: the bustling grandeur of Rome and the softer everyday beauty found just beyond its monuments.
Medros had a wonderful ability to suggest an incredible amount with surprisingly little. A few strokes become a figure, a reflection, a rooftop or a piece of laundry moving in the breeze. His paintings feel less like formal portraits of Rome and more like memories of actually being there.
We especially love these two as a pair. For anyone who spends their summers in Europe, dreams about returning to Italy, or simply wants a little piece of Rome at home, they make such a special set.
