Beautiful original oil painting signed BERTINI, featuring a lush classical floral still life arranged in an urn. Roses, tulips, peonies and smaller garden blossoms are layered in muted ivory, blush, crimson, blue and ochre tones against a deep brown ground, creating the rich, old-world look of a traditional European floral painting.
The painting has wonderful decorative presence at over 33 inches tall, with a dramatic vertical composition that makes it ideal for a library, dining room, entry, bedroom or layered gallery wall. Pronounced craquelure across the surface gives the work additional character and age, while the softly distressed gilt frame adds to its collected, timeworn appeal.
CONDITION
Beautiful vintage condition with age-appropriate wear. Craquelure is visible throughout the painted surface, along with minor surface wear consistent with age. The gilt frame shows rubbing, losses and patina.

WHY WE LOVE THIS
The dark ground, generous scale and beautifully layered florals give this piece exactly the kind of old-world presence that works so well in a collected English country or Ralph Lauren-inspired interior.
