This beautiful oil on canvas painting entitled ?Dancing in the Streets,? attributed to the talented A. Rocco, is a wonderful illustration of a European street festival. Rocco was born in Naples Italy in 1924 and studied at the academies of Paris and Liege. He has exhibited in Italy and France and won various prizes for his achievements in art and was last known to be a professor of art in Italy. This is a wonderfully energetic painting that was done in an impressionistic manner. Quick brushstrokes of bright colors were used to outline the facades of the buildings, and small dots and shapes were used to suggest crowds of people gathered in the streets. While it lacks fine detail, it is quite easy to tell that the city is abuzz with activity and life. Rocco?s use of perspective allows the viewer to be drawn into the composition and follow the crowd down the street where it eventually fades and distant mountains can be seen. The signature ?Rocco? can be seen in the lower right corner of the piece. The painting was mounted in a black wood frame with gold inner accents to pick up the deep grays and blacks from within the composition. The unique framing presentation of this piece was individually selected and created by Le Chateau?s renowned master framer, Jeanette Shoenrock, and bears her signature on the back. Including the wonderful frame this piece measures 11 5/8? x 14 5/8? and would be a gorgeous, colorful addition to any collection, and an affordable way to add life ...
