This virtual gallery aims to be a sort of exhibition on XX century Italian art and is sustained by a double assumption: it rotates around the conviction that History is the substantive and qualifying hinge for the production of essentiality and specificity; and being aware that any attempt at critical interpretation, intended to redefine the linguistic strategies, the relationships or fluctuations of visual matters, the morphology and the style of making art in Italy is constituted according to the vision experienced, and which is absolutely personal, by the artists. Important names are suggested in this site, but that’s not all. With our experience we have blind faith in certain artists and therefore are fully confident when advising you in the purchase. Knowing full well that for many people Art is a real luxury, we have though to enable you to make your purchase in convenient installments so that it weighs less on your budget and at the same time you don’t have to sacrifice the cultural aspect or give up the possibility of a good investment!

Albert Bierstadt went west for the first time in 1859, a young, ambitious painter in the party of Colonel Frederick W. Lander, who had been charged by the Interior Department to survey a new wagon route to California which would go north of Salt Lake and thus prevent further friction between emigrants and Mormons. Lander was also to placate the Native Americans whose trading would be disrupted by relocating the California and Oregon wagon trails that had been in use for years. The expedition offered the artist an opportunity to see America's fabled mountains, known to a fascinated public through written descriptions and photographs in black and white, and to encounter Native Americans in their natural setting. If the Rockies were as grand as the Alps, paintings of them would find buyers already enthusiastic at the prospects of westward expansion, especially merchants and boosters of the railroads. When Bierstadt set out he was a better landscape painter than previous artists who had gone west, having studied for three years in Dusseldorf and painted in Italy.

Lander's expedition crossed Nebraska, and continued northwest following the North Fork of the Platte River into western Wyoming........................ More

Piero's parents took Leonardo into their home and raised him. The boy showed one side of his genius by working out difficult problems in mathematics and engineering. But he showed greatest promise in drawing and painting. As a result, his father took him to Florence to study with Andrea del Verrocchio.
