      May. 20, 2018

      RAFFAELE LIMAURO (Italian 1884-1946) A PAINTING, "Two figures stop by the wall in Landscape,"

      Est: $8,000 - $15,000

      RAFFAELE LIMAURO (Italian 1884-1946) A PAINTING, "Two figures stop by the wall in Landscape," oil on linen, signed L/R. 35 1/2" x 39 1/4" NOTE: "A nostalgic painter, "identifiable for his romantically decorative note," written by Alfredo Schettini. Raffaele Limauro was originally from a small village of Frusinate, Pontecorvo, where his father Paolo had been appointed chancellor at the Procura. At sixteen Francesco Limauro emigrated to the United States in New York alternating work in an architectural studio, with an evening course of painting at the Cooper Union Academy. At just twenty-two years old, he exhibited his first works. Returning permanently to Italy, the young man, who graduated from the Institute of Fine Arts in 1913, was able to begin his artistic career, establishing himself with success. After the war, in which he took part as an officer of the Bersaglieri, being seriously injured in the Battle of the Karst, he won the competition for drawing and art history in the Liceo of the Nunziatella military school in Naples, upon which he decorated the windows, and where he taught until his death. In the Twenties, he had numerous public offices in Naples and dedicated himself to the restoration and reorganization of the Catacombs of San Gennaro. He exhibited his paintings in numerous art exhibitions, in Italy (at the Venice Biennale, at the national exhibitions in Turin, Milan, Florence, Rome and Naples) and abroad (Buenos Aires and New York). His painting, above all, of landscapes denoted, according to the critic Schettini, "a nostalgic vision from the truth", saying that Limauro tried, in his own way, to carry on, filtering through his sensitivity, the Nineteenth century Neapolitan naturalistic tradition. One of his most famous works, "Al Clitunno" of 1916, inspired by the ode of Giosuè Carducci, he was considered by the critics capable of "making the deep and sonorous tones towards Carducciano which were almost tangible." The artist had a characteristic note of the poetic vein, and the art of knowing how to play with the warm and cold tones of color.
