Fine quality large seascape 19th-Century, oil on canvas view of Venice canals by listed Italian artist Francis Moltino (1818 - 1874) with gondolas and figures. A superb example of Moltino's work, it is a large scale panoramic busy canal scene with bustling activity in the foreground and the beautiful buildings of the historic city in the distance. Excellent quality and condition, it is likely a work painted for exhibition or a commission. Displayed in the original carved swept giltwood frame. The painting is signed and dated 1856, lower left.
Moltino is a listed artist whose auction records exceed $35,000.
Art has long been regarded as a strong and safe investment. Ellen Kelleher, a personal finance reporter for The Financial Times wrote an article recommending art particularly in the $500 - $50,000 range as a sound long term investment with an impressive current average annual yield of 9.7%.
